He had collected documents spanning several years, newspapers more than a year old, memos and other memorabilia from various events, former associates familiar with the circumstances of his “exit” told Reuters.
His departure Donald Trump from the White House was as chaotic as his presidency, according to former aides, and his final hours in office were marked by a study of last-minute gathering of stacks of papers and memorabilia he wanted to keep.
Trump, who preferred to read on paper rather than on a computer, had collected several years’ worth of documents, newspapers more than a year old, memos and other memorabilia from various events, former associates familiar with the circumstances of the “exit” told Reuters. of. His handling of classified and other official documents, which he took with him in boxes to his private residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, sparked a federal criminal investigation.
Trump kept the Oval Office in order, but he might be working in the dining room next door, and often, wherever he went, he was followed by cardboard. He would take boxes of material on the presidential plane and sign official documents, handwritten notes to friends and colleagues, then put them all together in a box at the end of his trip, these sources said.
Trump and his advisers argue that the president has a constitutional right to declassify any record he wants and take personal copies of his records with him. Past presidents have typically adhered closely to the Presidential Records Act and made sure the documents were turned over to the National Archives.
Trump refused to attend his inauguration Joe Biden and left the White House on January 20, 2021, without greeting his successor. Transport trucks, stacks of boxes and his aides carrying souvenirs and photos have been seen going in and out of the White House in recent days.
How the former president left the White House worried some security analysts. Mark Zaid, a national security attorney, said that based on the descriptions of what was found in the boxes, “I imagine it’s 4:15 and I have to move at 5 and I’m reaching out and sweeping up what’s on the my desk, throwing it into the boxes.”
