The National Archives and Records Administration says it is still missing records from former President Donald Trump's White House that were supposed to be turned over at the end of his term.
The agency's admission came in a letter dated Friday, but released Saturday, from NARA archivist Debra Steidel Wall to the House Oversight and Reform Committee's Chairwoman, Rep. Carolyn Maloney . Maloney had written to the National Archives in September to ask about presidential records that remain unaccounted for after the August raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, which produced scores of documents but raised the question of if other materials were still missing.
Steidel Wall said that the Archives has successfully retrieved some of those materials, though not all, before revealing that NARA would involve the Justice Department in certain circumstances. It is not clear if Steidel Wall is referring to former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who has refused to turn over materials from his unofficial account without legal immunity and is being sued by the Justice Department for the messages, or others whom are not yet known to have withheld documents.
