Following the ruling of the Supreme Court against former President Donald Trump, the National Archives has been turning over records related to the potential coup attempt and January 6 riots to the congressional committee. A report by the Washington Post revealed that the National Archives had to retrieve some records that were found in the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
The news outlet reported that some of Trump’s White House records had to be retrieved in his Florida resort residence. The records that were there were not turned over before Trump left Washington in January 2021. The report said that the documents were obtained by the archives last month, one year after Trump lost to Joe Biden.
The recovery of the boxes of White House records appears to raise concerns about the former president’s compliance with the Presidential Records Act, which would require the preservation of all types of records, from memos to other written communications related to the president’s official duties.
While Trump advisers reportedly said that there was no ill intention in smuggling the boxes to Mar-a-Lago, they said the boxes contained mementos and gifts, and other correspondence from fellow world leaders. Two people familiar with the matter revealed that some of those that were kept included a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and a letter from Trump’s immediate predecessor Barack Obama.
The discussions between the National Archives and the former president’s lawyers started last year and resulted in transferring of records in January. Trump advisers also reportedly discussed what had to be turned over to the archives back in December.
To this day, representatives of the National Archives said that they are still in the process of retrieving more records from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence. The agency released a statement announcing that they are still searching for records that Trump wrongfully brought with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
“These records should have been transferred to NARA from the White House at the end of the Trump administration in January 2021,” said the agency in the statement. David Ferriero, the Archivist of the United States, also stressed the importance of upholding the Presidential Records Act.
