Former White House aide tells Jan. 6 panel he saw Trump ‘tearing’ up documents: report

An aide to former President Donald Trump told the House Jan. 6 committee earlier this year that he saw the commander-in-chief “tearing” up documents, according to a report.

Nick Luna, who served as Trump’s personal aide in the White House, told the House select committee during a deposition on March 21 that he witnessed Trump destroying presidential documents, possibly in violation of the Presidential Records Act, according to CBS News.

“Did I ever see him tear up notes? I don’t know what the documents were but there [was] tearing,” Luna testified to the panel investigating last year’s Capitol riot, according to audio obtained by CBS News.

The Presidential Records Act requires that presidential documents be preserved and given to the National Archives at the end of a president’s time in office.

The 76-year-old former president is currently under investigation by the Justice Department over his handling of presidential records, some of which were stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after his presidency and recovered by the FBI during an August raid.

That wasn't Trump tearing up documents - it was Pelosi tearing up Trump's State of the Union address.

Of course this was cheered on by the media and other lefties.

Holy cow he tore up a piece of paper! That’s it, what more proof do we need.

Did that committee ever allow the other side of the Presidential limo “attempted hijacking” story?

Like Nancy Pelosi? Oh wait, Nancy had a few million witnesses and a MSM that thought it was hilarious to destroy government documents . . .

Nick Luna needs to have a long and serious discussion with Mr. Waterboard to clear things up.

As if to prove that the media does not know the color of the technology bus that ran them over - there is no acknowledgment here or in the reporting on the supposed classified document at Mar-a-Lago, that in the modern world, documents are created, stored, transmitted, and archived digitally. I don't know the methods for the National Archive to capture and catalog the documents of an administration, but I'm sorta guessing that they might just get the digital record as well. So, tearing up copy #32 of the agenda for a meeting on a given day in the White House, is of no significance.

How silly is this.

There is no way it’s illegal for the president to toss a piece of paper while in office.

And I’m sure it happens constantly.

With modern tech, the chance anyone has the “only copy” is close to zero.

Imagine being in an adversary country and not being able to shred something?

Was Mr. Luna’s blackmail money included in Chuckie Schumer’s 4155 page Omnibus Bankrupting bill ?

Why don’t Democrats just declare Trump a witch and burn him at the stake?
