Former President Donald Trump had classified national security documents in the boxes of material he took with him when he left the White House, the government’s chief archivist told Congress on Friday.
Archivist David Ferriero said in a letter to the chair of the House Oversight Committee that the National Archives “has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” that were recently transfered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
