The US National Archives Has Asked For A Formal Investigation Into Trump's Management Of Materials

The US government agency in charge of presidential records preservation has requested the Justice Department to look into Donald Trump's handling of official documents.

The National Archives is obligated by law to receive all of the president's correspondence, work documents, and emails.

Officials claim, however, that the former president ripped up numerous documents illegally.

According to the Archives, several of them had to be taped back together.

Mr Trump's 15 boxes of paperwork, which he was supposed to pass over when he departed the White House, were instead moved to his Florida property.

They contain letters from Mr. Trump to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as well as Barack Obama's presidential handover letter.

Mr. Trump has already fought with the National Archives. In an unsuccessful attempt to delay the release of White House data to a congressional committee investigating the violence on the US Capitol on January 6, he filed a lawsuit.

Mr Trump welcomed the National Archives' cooperation in a statement.

"My association with NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] has been labeled as "fake news" by the media. It was the polar opposite! Working with NARA to help formally preserve the Trump legacy was a wonderful honor "he stated.
