Lawyers for Trump had provided a sworn certification that all government records had been returned. The letter on Friday also comes nearly two months after the FBI recovered more than 100 documents with classified markings and more than 10,000 other government documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The request is the latest development in a monthslong back-and-forth between the agency and the committee, which has been investigating Trump’s handling of records. The House committee has jurisdiction over the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law that requires the preservation of White House documents as property of the U.S. The legal action in August came just weeks after Navarro was indicted on criminal charges after refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. The Justice Department has already pursued records from one former Trump official, Peter Navarro, who prosecutors accused of using at least one “non-official” email account - a ProtonMail account - to send and receive emails while he worked as the president’s trade adviser. The agency says that while it has been able to obtain these records from some former officials, a number remain outstanding. The Presidential Records Act, which says that such records are government property and must be preserved, requires staff to copy or forward those messages into their official electronic messaging accounts. It has been widely reported that officials in President Donald Trump’s White House used non-official electronic messaging accounts throughout his four years in office.

The letter went on to specify that the National Archives would consult with the Justice Department about how to move forward and recover “the records unlawfully removed.” archivist, wrote in a letter to Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.

“While there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should,” Debra Steidel Wall, the acting U.S. The nation’s record-keeping agency, in a letter Friday to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said that despite an ongoing effort by staff, electronic communications between certain unidentified White House officials were still not in their custody. We stand behind the positive impact of our work.WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Archives and Records Administration informed lawmakers that a number of electronic communications from Trump White House staffers remain missing, nearly two years since the administration was required to turn them over.

We have strengthened and scaled up our firm’s control functions, tripling the size of our risk, legal, and compliance teams since 2015 and hiring a new General Counsel with government service experience and a deep background in ethics and governance. That year, we implemented a new client selection policy governing which clients we serve and on what topics. Since we stopped advising clients on opioid-related business in 2019, we have continued to improve our policies around governance and client selection. Last year we reached settlements with all 50 state Attorneys General in order to provide fast, meaningful support to communities across the United States that have been affected by the opioid crisis.

This work, while lawful, fell short of the high standards we set for ourselves. More broadly, we understand and accept the scrutiny around our past client service to opioid manufacturers. We have not advised the FDA on regulatory decisions or on specific pharmaceutical products. McKinsey's work for the FDA has focused on administrative and operational topics, including improvements to organizational structures, business processes and technology. If potential conflicts cannot be appropriately addressed, we will not do the work. In the public sector, we are also subject to our government clients’ conflict of interest requirements, and we review conflicts-both actual and potential-accordingly. We are steadfastly committed to protecting our clients' confidential information and guarding against conflicts of interest. ApWe will review the report by the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and will continue to cooperate with the Committee to address further questions.
