White House staff are running after the president with Scotch tape so they can stick pages he’s torn up back together. Two staffers have told Politico that the president tends to rip paper once he is finished with it, sometimes just in half, but sometimes in “pieces so small they look like confetti” which have to be pieced back into a document like a puzzle. The Presidential Records Act makes it law that almost any document the president touches must be preserved in the national archives.

The two senior staffers, Solomon Lartey and Reginald Young Jr, from the archive department, were tasked with Scotch-taping together Trump’s letters, including one from Chuck Schumer, which was ripped into particularly tiny pieces. Both were suddenly fired from the White House this year with no explanation as to why they had been let go after long careers in the civil service.

It’s not just White House staff who are desperately trying to piece together ripped paper. Federal prosecutors are in the process of reconstructing documents they found in Michael Cohen’s shredder. On 30 May, they told the US district judge Kimba Wood that they would need two to three more weeks to reconstitute the documents they had found.

There are many reasons why this White House, and those who have dealt with Donald Trump, might want to avoid a paper trail. But it seems that these attempts to destroy documents are being thwarted easily. So what does it take to properly destroy a document in the modern era?

Does the law apply to Don the Con?
