A former White House aide to President Donald Trump testified to the Jan. 6 House committee that then-President Trump was seen tearing up documents while in office.
According to recorded testimony reported by CBS News, former presidential aide Nick Luna told the panel that while he witnessed the act, he did not see which exact documents Trump tore to pieces.
"Did I ever see him tear up notes? I don't know what the documents were, but there [was] tearing," Luna testified, according to the report.
Questioned by the panel’s senior investigative counsel to clarify if he witnessed Trump destroying documents by tearing them up, the former aide replied, “That’s correct.”
According to federal statutes, a president can destroy documents but must receive permission from the national archives to do so.
The Presidential Records Act states that "any records created or received by the President as part of his constitutional, statutory, or ceremonial duties are the property of the United States government and will be managed by NARA [National Archives and Records Administration]...

This is, without a doubt, the stupidest, most inane, leftist hack job story being tossed around the media world.
Trump might have been tearing up junk mail sent to the Oval Office for all we know, it could have been a handwritten note from Pelosi or Pence saying “YOU SUCK”, it could have been a flyer from the New York Times, or...it could have been blank sheets of paper.
But the Left wants EVERYONE to conclude it was the nuclear codes he was tearing up.
The National Archives only needs one copy.
A president can rip up third party documents like restaurant menus or private correspondence or proposed reelection political ads.
Only if a document affects governmental action does Congress get the power to order it preserved, and only one copy need be saved.

Luna’s most recent film credit was in 2018, according to his IMDB profile. Luna was credited in a short called Drinks Prior in 2018, as well as a short titled Sh*t We Do in 2016.

I don’t care!
Until you..GOV..take care of the obvious crimes thick in the halls of government.. Leave Trump alone.
You have the Biden family to clean up.
LEAVE TRUMP ALONE!
“Yes. I was spying on President Trump when he was on the Oval Office commode and he purposefully reached over, grabbed some toilet paper, and tore it off the paper tube. I was personally flabbergasted that the President would treat official documentation in such a manner.”
Even worse, he covered it with excrement and flushed it down the toilet. And it wasn’t even an environmentally friendly toilet!
I’d always tear up notes my secretary puts on my desk saying “your fly is unzipped.” Who wouldn’t?
LOL what a waste of time of a supposed story..he said he saw him tearing up “Something” he never confirmed what kind of “Document” he saw him tear..could have been a freakin shopping list, or anything..meanwhile I saw Nancy Pelosi tear a precious document on LIVE TV and no one cared
Exactly.
Let me see if I get this right:
A former presidential aid, not directly observing what he is claiming as sensitive documents, is saying that the president tore up, that have never been found or identified after the destruction, cannot be evidence in a congressional case against a now private citizen.
He also says two different and opposite pieces of his statement during the same interrogation:
“ According to recorded testimony reported by CBS News, former presidential aide Nick Luna told the panel that while he witnessed the act, he did not see which exact documents Trump tore to pieces.
“Did I ever see him tear up notes? I don’t know what the documents were, but there [was] tearing,” Luna testified, according to the report.
Questioned by the panel’s senior investigative counsel to clarify if he witnessed Trump destroying documents by tearing them up, the former aide replied, “That’s correct.”
I guess I’m a little confused how can a person who can’t determine what something is say it is and it isn’t anything. Since he couldn’t identify any of the pieces of paper he heard being torn, they could have been Trump’s shopping list. This, since he is under oath, just created perjury for himself.

If you noticed anyone, say, perhaps Sandy Burglar, stuffing documents and entire folders in their socks and underwear, well, that is just the status quo.
“Don’t come into the room.””
You might actually learn something contrary to your insanity, which could either open your eyes, or drive you further down the liberalism-is-a-mental-disorder rathole.
LOL
They’re a little late to show aren’t they? That shit was passed around when President Trump was still in office.
(I photoshopped this with the thought that Berger stuffed them down his pants...the original is below)
What this shows is the absolute contempt that Leftists, all of them, including and especially the Clintons, have for the public and for the rule of law. It is all a great, big, massive inside joke for them.
How I detest them. All of them.
“... by tearing them up. I don’t know what the documents were .....”
He was tearing up rough drafts like everyone else does. They really hate this man! They went wild when he held a glass of water with two hands. Will they ever give him some peace?
I remember.
This really means absolutely nothing. And yet, the Biden bots will think it’s a “bombshell.”
