Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent has argued that former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ recent backing of Donald Trump’s handling of government documents was “so ludicrous that he deserved to be laughed off the set” of Newsmax, but that his “nonsense was permitted to slide by”.
It was recently revealed that White House aides at times found official documents clogging up the toilets during Mr Trump’s presidency. The news followed reports that Mr Trump failed to hand over a number of boxes of documents to the National Archives, which had to be retrieved from Mr Trump’s Florida home. It’s also been reported that Mr Trump regularly tore up and at times even chewed on documents.
