Oversight Chair calls for National Archives to look into Trump’s Florida storage unit
Ryan King
House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is asking for the National Archives and Records Administration to conduct an examination into whether former president Donald Trump held onto additional documents at a storage facility.
Raising alarms about whether Trump had material that had not previously been in the scope of prior National Archives’s inquiries, Maloney referenced recent revelations that an outside team Trump hired discovered at least two additional documents at a storage facility in Florida and turned them over to the government.
“This inquiry, which is separate from the Department of Justice’s ongoing criminal investigation into Mr. Trump’s actions, seeks to understand the full extent and impact of former President Trump’s violations of the [Presidential Records Act] in order to ‘determine what additional steps, including potential legislative reforms, may be needed to ensure the preservation of presidential records for the American people,’” Maloney wrote in a letter, per the Washington Post.
