Former president Donald Trump tore up "hundreds" of White House records during his administration — in clear violation of federal law — despite "multiple admonishments," the Washington Post reported Saturday.
"The documents included briefings and schedules, articles and letters, memos both sensitive and mundane," the Post reported. "He ripped paper into quarters with two big, clean strokes — or occasionally more vigorously, into smaller scraps. He left the detritus on his desk in the Oval Office, in the trash can of his private West Wing study and on the floor aboard Air Force One, among many other places. And he did it all in violation of the Presidential Records Act, despite being urged by at least two chiefs of staff and the White House counsel to follow the law on preserving documents."
Trump's practice of destroying official documents — which has long since been reported — made headlines again this week after the House Select Committee investigation the Capitol insurrection received records from the National Archives that appeared to have been taped back together.
