WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Archives and Records Administration informed lawmakers that a number of electronic communications from Trump White House staffers remain missing, nearly two years since the administration was required to turn them over.
The nation’s record-keeping agency, in a letter Friday to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said that despite an ongoing effort by staff, electronic communications between certain unidentified White House officials were still not in their custody.
“While there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should,” Debra Steidel Wall, the acting U.S. archivist, wrote in a letter to Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.
The letter went on to specify that the National Archives would consult with the Justice Department about how to move forward and recover “the records unlawfully removed.”
It has been widely reported that officials in President Donald Trump’s White House used non-official electronic messaging accounts throughout his four years in office. The Presidential Records Act, which says that such records are government property and must be preserved, requires staff to copy or forward those messages into their official electronic messaging accounts.
Maloney and other Democratic lawmakers on the panel have been seeking a briefing from the National Archives, but haven’t received one due to the Justice Department’s ongoing criminal investigation into the matter.

Meanwhile, the question of “who hired Craig Livingstone ?” is still unanswered, nearly 30 years after it was asked.
It’s not a crime - they admitted as such with Hillary’s email server.
It is also standard practice to use personal phones for non-work communications, especially political party planning which is FORBIDDEN to use government services for.
How do they know what’s missing if you don’t have it or haven’t seen it. Are they relying on media reports?

She organized the FBI Raid on President Trump’s personal quarters in his personal residence.
Who are her handlers?
It is called WAG (wild ass guess).
Cops use it to trap the suspect.
““While there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should,”
Translates to... “Then we will just make up crap to fill in those voids we just invented”.
Those idiots in the archives are clueless. Hell, Sandy Burglar went in and started shoving the Clintoon records in his socks and underwear and nobody thought anything was going on. Remember, the archives are run by government employees.
Why do these rules apply only to Trump?
Maybe, but for sure the Russians still have the Secret and Top-Secret documents that Mrs. Bill Clinton gave them via neglect.
How do they know what they don’t have? Is this the excuse to get the FBI to raid everyone in the Trump administration now?
Livingstone himself told me a couple decades ago when i asked him. He gave me the names of 2 men, which I have long since forgotten.
Just curious:
Did the National Archives ever utter a peep of concern about Hillary’s 33,000 emails?
Inquiring for a friend...
I’m sure they’ve gotten all of Obama’s staffers’ electronic communications, especially the ones Susan Rice sent herself.
Meanwhile, Osama Obama and Pedo Joe have gotten off with barely a whisper of disapproval after they used secret email accounts to hide records for more than ten years.
I wonder who’s going to get raided next?
Have they checked Obama’s warehouse for Trumps missing records. Maybe Obama could loan Trump some records as Obama supposedly has 50 - 60 million. All of which I’m sure are cataloged with the national archives.
Also missing was the comments written on the bathroom stalls and the janitors comments
“We have no idea of what we may be missing - but we are missing it...”
