>> The National Archives and Records Administration which by law is tasked with
making sure that we have access to the documents and correspondence of past administrations.
Apparently had to haul away multiple boxes from Mar-a-Lago
of documents that have been taken from the White House to there for some reason.
It apparently includes records of communications, gifts, and letters from world leaders. And that
is I'm being told a violation of the Presidential Records Act because of course, the act never said
well you just take it home with you if you want. That's fine too. You can do that.
You can put it in a storage shed in Rosita or something. No, you have to give it to them.
Anyway. They also let us know that it is quite frequent actually that administrations will have
little violations of this. It's a lot of documents,
you expect some errors might come up every once in a while.
But they did say that the Mar-a-Lago thing is out of the ordinary. There's never been like that many
documents that have been transferred intentionally out with the outgoing administration.
And in addition to them being there also,
they said that some of the records were ripped apart and then had to be taped back together.
So that's exciting. That's fun work. Why would that happen? Well,
Trump just rips up the documents. Interviews with 11 former Trump staffers, associates,
and others revealed that Trump's shredding of paper was more widespread and indiscriminate
than previously known. And despite multiple admonishments, that is amazing,
extended throughout his presidency, they had to figure out policies to help because he won't stop.
Think about that. The shredding of paper was more widespread and indiscriminate is how you
talk about a new puppy. Not how you talk about the most powerful politician in the planet.
Just give me the papers I need to, Trump got to shred. That's, nope, that's what he did Adrian.
>> Yeah, no, he has no respect for the law whatsoever. Just this thought that he is above
everything and he can do whatever he wants, it's just really to the detriment of our nation.
But it does seem more like a toddler, a puppy, a child
who's out here ripping up documents and then also taking them home.
Who knows what he destroyed. To essentially engage
in destruction of evidence so that things can't necessarily
be tracked back to him. This is wild to me. >> Yeah, yeah. Well, and not to jump ahead.
Don't worry about the graphics. But apparently they also just bagged up and burned documents too.
Which is generally the sort of thing you do when you're totally complying with the law,
you're mass burning documents. But look, we joke and we just did, and we will in the future,
joke about the fact that he has this toddler habit of ripping apart papers. And I don't know,
apparently on the presidential desk, he couldn't have anything
he could fit in his mouth because he just puts everything in there.
But think about, if you're one of the people working for instance,
I think they had aids at the office of the staff secretary or the Oval Office Operations
Team. They would come in after his meetings and there's just shredded paper everywhere
and they would have to then tape it back together.
I don't know for sure. It's possible that that's just a thing that people get hired for,
those groups. But probably if you're working in the White House, you're conservative, right,
you're probably a Trump fan. You're probably on the right and your job is to spend hours
taping paper back together because they've asked him to stop but he just won't.
So now your whole job is doing that. Wouldn't you lose so much respect for that person in their
movement? Maybe I'm petty. I don't know. I would. >> No, I don't think that you're petty or
anything. The fact that this individual is not complying with the law and feels
the need to tear up documents despite being told multiple times.
Again, you're not a puppy, you are a person and you are supposed to be one of the major leaders
of this world. So yeah, I would definitely, I would lose a lot of respect for that individual.
>> And by the way, multiple stories now have come out, he rips apart stuff.
He stole a bunch of documents, brought them to Mar-a-Lago. They had burned bags, but her emails,
they were very concerned about that. How dare you communicate on not an official thing,
which by the way, they also all did that. It's weird. It's almost like they weren't being honest.
>> Yep. >> Maybe someone should look into that.
