National Archives to Report on Whether More Trump Files Are Missing
WASHINGTONThe National Archives faces a Tuesday deadline to update a congressional committee on a key question: Are there still documents from the Trump White House that are unaccounted for?
National Archives officials last month told staff for House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.) that they arent sure whether all presidential records from the Trump administration are in its custody, as federal law dictates, prompting the committee to set Sept. 27 as a deadline for an update. The National Archives declined to comment.
The whereabouts of those White House documentsboth presidential records from everyday business and classified materialhave been in the spotlight since the FBIs Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. That was the culmination of more than a year of negotiations between the archives and Mr. Trumps representatives over the custody of White House records, including boxes of papers that were returned to the archives in January and those seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in August.
