House Oversight Cmte. Chairwoman Maloney asks National Archives and Records Administration to confirm whether former President Trump still possesses any records he took from the White House after 100+ classified documents were found at his Mar-a-Lago home.
In a letter Tuesday to acting Archivist of the United States Debra Steidel Wall, Maloney said she is concerned that"sensitive presidential records may remain out of the control and custody" of the federal government because of"revelations that Mr. Trump’s representatives misled investigators about his continued possession of government property and that material found at his club included dozens of 'empty folders' for classified material.
The committee chairwoman also asked that the Archives"conduct an urgent review" of records recovered from Trump's White House to determine"whether presidential records remain unaccounted for and potentially in the possession of the former president." Carolyn Maloney during a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on gun violence on Capitol Hill in Washington, on June 8, 2022.John Bolton, Trump's former White House national security adviser, has expressed concern that Trump"might have transferred classified documents to other clubs, such as Bedminster National Golf Club, where he recently hosted a professional golf tournament sponsored and attended by numerous foreign officials," the letter noted.
Maloney said that National Archives staff recently informed the Oversight panel that the agency isn't sure whether all presidential records are in its custody.
