Former US President Donald Trump spotlighting in news again as the National Archive Letter reveals more than 700 pages of classified materials were allegedly retrieved from his home in January.
According to a letter dated 10 May from the US National Archives and Records Administration’s lawyer representing the former US president, 100 documents were retrieved from his Florida estates Mar – a – Lago. NARA had identified items retrieved from the Trump mansion, marked as highly classified and including information about special access programs, the letter said.
An excerpt from the letter stated, “NARA had ongoing communications with the former President’s representatives throughout 2021 about what appeared to be missing Presidential records, which resulted in the transfer of 15 boxes of records to NARA in January 2022,”
This comes to light after allegations that Trump mishandled classified documents following the end of his term in US Office.
In the published letter, NARA Acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall told a lawyer for Trump, Evan Corcoran, that the administration of US President Joe Biden would not consider the former president’s claims of executive privilege over the documents.
The letter was made public on Tuesday on the NARA website after it was posted on a website connected to conservative writer and Trump ally John Solomon on Monday night.
