Washington, February 11 (RHC)-- The National Archives has asked the Justice Department to investigate Donald Trump’s handling of White House records, after officials recovered 15 boxes of materials from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort that should have been turned over to the federal government.
According to The Washington Post, those documents include items that were clearly marked as classified, including several labeled “Top Secret.” When the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton in 2016 for possibly mishandling classified information, Trump led chants of “Lock her up!” on the campaign trail. It’s not clear if the FBI will open a similar probe into Trump’s mishandling of documents.
Meanwhile, investigators with the House committee probing the January 6 insurrection have found gaps in White House logs of Trump’s phone calls on the day of the Capitol assault. The gaps span a period of time during the attack when Trump is known to have been making phone calls.
