.MaddowBlog: One of the amazing things about the controversy surrounding Trump mishandling White House documents is the degree to which it’s changed quickly.
The National Archives and Records Administration discovered what it believed was classified information in documents Donald J. Trump had taken with him from the White House as he left office, according to a person briefed on the matter.
Remember, when the recent revelations first came to light, the former president’s aides characterized the “improperly removed” records as largely trivial. The Republican’s teamThe Washington Post this week that the items “included correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which Trump once described as ‘love letters,’ as well as a letter left for Trump by President Barack Obama.”
That was before we knew he took 15 boxes full of stuff — and before the reporting that the materials included sensitive information believed to be classified.that the Justice Department told the National Archives to have its inspector general look into this.
this morning that the chair of the House Oversight Committee is “moving quickly” in the hopes of getting answers. In a letter sent Wednesday to Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero, Rep. Carolyn Maloney requested information “to examine the extent and impact” of Trump’s apparent violations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires the preservation of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to a president’s official duties.
