Fresno CA

Description

The House Oversight Committee has asked the National Archives for more information about former President Donald Trump's handling of White House records. In a letter to National Archivist David Ferriero, the panel's chairwoman, Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., asked for a range of documents, including information on what was found in 15 boxes obtained from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Maloney also asked for information on documents that the National Archives learned Trump had ripped up and on any correspondence between the agency and him about the Presidential Records Act. “I am deeply concerned that former President Trump may have violated the law through his intentional efforts to remove and destroy records that belong to the American people,” Maloney wrote in the letter Thursday.
