When the insider is the President of the United States, the mishandling and removal of information take on a different demeanor given the national security implications. The U.S. media has widely reported how the National Archives and Records Administration bird-dogged the return of missing presidential records, most recently 15 boxes of presidential papers that should have been directed to the National Archives when President Trump’s term ended on January 20, 2021.
It is alleged the 45th President of the United States directed the collection of materials to be placed into those boxes and forwarded to his Florida residence where they have sat for more than a year. It is also alleged that within some of these boxes were documents that carried the national security “secret” and “top secret” classifications.
