After Mar-a-Lago search, Meadows turns over more texts and emails to Archives
(CNN) - Within a week of the FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows handed over texts and emails to the National Archives that he had not previously turned over from his time in the administration, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
Meadows' submission to the Archives was part of a request for all electronic communications covered under the Presidential Records Act. The Archives had become aware earlier this year it did not have everything from Meadows after seeing what he had turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021. Details of Meadows' submissions to the Archives and the engagement between the two sides have not been previously reported.
"It could be a coincidence, but within a week of the August 8 search on Mar-a-Lago, much more started coming in," one source familiar with the discussions said.
The records Meadows turned over to the Archives were not classified, and the situation is markedly different from the Archives' efforts to retrieve federal records from Trump and its referral to the Justice Department earlier this year when classified materials were discovered among documents the agency retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.

While it's good that J6C has been quiet so as not to steal the thunder from current events, it's time for another round. I am jonesing for it. It's a perfect follow-up to the FBI news drops and Biden's speech.
