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.

Did the aide perchance ever see Trump holding a match? If so, we can all then reasonably conclude he was planning to burn the White House down.
That’s the way liberals (and the media) are thinking these days.
Does that aide work for the FBI?
They’ve got him this time! He’s cornered!
Like, with a hammer?
Does he weigh as much as a duck?
When cross is allowed the next question should be “what was torn up?”
News article?
Note from Melania on dinner selection?
Don’t know?
Recall that Pelosi’s actions were not spontaneous. During the speech she was planning this as she sat there and made a small tear in each page.
The NY Post sounds like the Washington Post lately.
This whole “We Really Got Him Now” crap is getting old.
“Did I ever see him tear up notes? I don’t know what the documents were but there [was] tearing,”
The NY post should be ashamed of printing this story. SMH
The sheer number of eager and available sellout scumbags is breathtaking.....
I agree 100%.....FYI the President can tear up and paper he want....I say Bill Clinton getting a BJ...butt that’s OK right???
She not only tore them....she pre-tore them to make sure it would work out for her. I think that constitutes “Malice”. And tearing up Government documents is a crime...but only if Trump does it.
Presidents are not allowed to tear up paper?
The toilet must’ve been full...
Looks like the FBI have grabbed Nicky by the gonads. He’s a commmie lib now.
And then what did he do with the documents? I don’t know...I was so upset...I left.
Are you retarded?
This makes a nothingburger look appetizing in comparison.
Pelousi destroyed a presidential document on live TV. When is HER trial??
