Trump Kept More Than 700 Pages of Classified Documents, Letter From National Archives Says
Former President Donald Trump took more than 700 pages of classified documents, including some related to the nation’s most covert intelligence operations, to his private club and residence in Florida when he left the White House in January 2021, according to a letter that the National Archives sent to his lawyers this year.
The letter was released Monday night by one of Trump’s allies in the media, John Solomon, who also serves as one of the former president’s representatives to the archives. The archives then released the letter Tuesday. Solomon, appearing Tuesday on a podcast run by Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House aide, tried to suggest that Wall’s letter somehow implicated President Joe Biden in the struggle over the classified documents. At one point in the letter, Wall told Corcoran that Biden had agreed with her and others that Trump’s attempts to assert executive privilege over the materials were baseless.
The Times had previously reported that the investigation stemmed in part from an effort to recover documents related to special access programs, a designation that is typically reserved for extremely sensitive operations carried out by the United States abroad or for closely held technologies and capabilities.
It described how archives officials had “ongoing communications” with Trump’s representatives last year about presidential records that were missing from their files. Those communications, Wall wrote, resulted in the archives retrieving 15 boxes of materials in January, some of them containing highly classified information marked top secret and others that were related to Special Access Programs.
“The executive branch here is seeking access to records belonging to, and in the custody of, the federal government itself,” Wall wrote, “not only in order to investigate whether those records were handled in an unlawful manner but also, as the national security division explained, to ‘conduct an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the apparent manner in which these materials were stored and transported.
