The National Archives said it still doesn’t have all of the records from White House staffers that it should have received at the end of former President Donald Trump’s administration and will continue to pursue missing material.
“While there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should,” Debra Steidel Wall, the Acting Archivist of the United States, said in a letter dated Friday to Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York.
On whether Trump himself has surrendered all of his presidential records besides those already turned over or seized by authorities from his Florida estate, Wall “respectfully” referred Maloney to the U.S. Justice Department, citing its pending investigation.
