Sandy Berger-2003

Fifty-eight year old Sandy Berger, the former National Security Adviser under the Clinton Administration, illegally took classified documents from the National Archives on more than one occasion. During his visits to the Archives, it was determined that Berger folded the documents in his clothes, walked out of the National Archives building in Washington, D.C., and placed them under a nearby construction trailer for retrieval later on. Two years later Berger was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and probation and fined $50,000. He also also had to pay $6,905 for the administrative costs of his two-year probation.

Berger also lost his security clearance and license to practice law.

Does the white house even have printed documents any longer?

Like any corporation, nobody writes letters any more. communication is via email and text. Information is controlled on servers, and shared electronically to those with secure devices and passwords.

The idea of Trump holding printed, paper documents seems absurd.

“Does the white house even have printed documents any longer?”

If the White House tried to store all the documents they need each year in the building, it would have to be huge in comparison to what it is.

But there are many hard copy documents stored in other locations. One of the ones the people actually know about is the tomb in St. Louis which houses documents for the many military people to have served with the US.

Certain types of documents have to physically exist for lawful needs. And they have to be handled in such a way to not hinder their existence and be questioned. These documents are seldom stored in the white house but in locations throughout the world to be retrieved and produced.
