The National Archives and Records Administration said that the administration of former President Donald Trump did not hand over all presidential documents and that the National Archives will consult with the Justice Department about whether it will take action to restore them.

On Sept. 13, a congressional committee demanded an urgent review by the National Archives and Records Administration after administration officials admitted they did not know if all presidential documents had been handed over from the Trump White House.

In a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Acting Director of the Archives Debra Wall noted that her administration is aware that some White House employees conducted official business using personal email accounts that were not copied or forwarded to their official accounts. , in violation of the Presidential Records Act.

“The National Archives and Records Administration has been able to obtain such records from a number of former officials and will continue to seek the return of similar types of presidential records from former officials,” Wall said in the letter.

The Department of Archives and Documents, which is responsible for maintaining government records, announced that it would consult with the Department of Justice on “whether action should be taken to recover documents that were illegally seized.”

The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into Trump’s storage of government documents, some classified as top secret, at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, since leaving office in January 2021.

The FBI confiscated more than 11,000 files, including about 100 documents that were classified during a court-sanctioned search on August 8 in Mar-a-Lago.
