“Document-level tracking in the executive branch in the White House Complex” does not exist, National Archives officials said.
The FBI seized numerous documents from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.“Since about 2010, we have gotten over 80 calls from different libraries where mostly Members of Congress have taken papers and deposited them in libraries for collections, their own papers,” Mark Bradley, who directs the agency’s Information Security Oversight Office, said.
For example, Bradley said, former Democrat Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie was found with 98 classified documents when he tried to give his papers over to the library at Bates College after retiring from his 21-year tenure. The National Archives are alerted to government-owned property, such as classified documents, in the personal possession of a politician, the agency sends a team of officials to retrieve the papers and bring them back to Washington, Bradley said.Biden is the most recent in a long chain of presidents who’ve mishandled top-secret documents.
“We need a better way for elected officials who are leaving office — in both the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch — to properly return classified material and protect the integrity of our national security,” Turner said.
