JUST IN: The US National Archives says it discussed with the Justice Department that classified records were found in boxes at Mar-a-Lago after former President Donald Trump left office
The letter, released by the Archives Friday, also provided more detail on reports that Trump tore up records after being warned not to while he was President. The Archives arranged for the transport of about 15 boxes of records from Trump's Florida resort last month after the agency sought them from the former President's team."NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes," Ferriero wrote, responding to a question from the House.
"After the end of the Trump Administration, NARA learned that additional paper records that had been torn up by former President Trump were included in the records transferred to us. Although White House staff during the Trump Administration recovered and taped together some of the torn-up records, a number of other torn-up records that were transferred had not been reconstructed by the White House.
