Jared Kushner warned to preserve government records
https://www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action/legal-complaints/jared-kushner-warned-to-preserve-government-records/White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushners routine use of non-secure, non-official messaging applications to discuss official government business could violate the law, according to a letter sent to Kushner today by CREW warning him of his legal obligations to maintain and preserve presidential records, including his discussions of official government business using non-official messaging applications. Kushner is required to preserve those records under the Presidential Records Act, and the willful destruction or concealment of federal records is a federal crime.
The PRA requires the president and his staff to document, preserve and maintain records of the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the presidents constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties. In 2017, the White House Counsel issued two memos reminding all White House personnel of their obligation to preserve and maintain official government records. The memos explicitly forbid the use of non-official messaging accounts for official business without prior authorization, and warned that willfully destroying or concealing federal records is a crime.
