Trump’s Criminal Activity in the White House
Deleted phone logs, flushed records, shredded papers, and classified documents removed from the White House: Donald Trump is trying to clean up his paper trail.
Trump should anticipate another federal probe into his administration as the National Archives requested the Justice Department to look into his handling of White House records. Trump's illegal disposal of presidential records was first reported on in 2018 but the matter has come back into the spotlight when the Jan. 6 Committee received records late last month that were torn up and taped back together. Additionally, it has come out that Trump flushed documents and clogged a White House toilet, removed classified records from Washington, and tampered with phone records during the Attack.

Investigators have found gaps in the sparce call logs received by the House Select Committee. Records that show Trump's call logs during the day of the attack are missing crucial hours when investigators know he was making them.
The National Archives has asked the DOJ to investigate Trump's removal of 15 boxes of classified documents labeled "top secret" as well as memorabilia from the White House to his home in Mar-a-Lago when he left office.
