Jonathan Franklin , NPR; 15 boxes of White House records have been recovered at Trump's Mar-a-Lago
"The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) said it retrieved 15 boxes of White House records and other items last month that were stored at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property instead of at the National Archives.
As first reported by The Washington Post, the documents retrieved from the Florida property contained important records of communication along with Trump's self-described "love letters" with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as a letter addressed to Trump from his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.
According to the newspaper, the boxes of records at Mar-A-Lago violated the Presidential Records Act (PRA) — which requires the keeping of all forms of documents and communications related to a president's or vice president's official duties.
As required by the Presidential Records Act (PRA), the records discovered at Mar-a-Lago should have been transferred to NARA from the White House at the end of the Trump administration in January 2021.
"The Presidential Records Act mandates that all Presidential records must be properly preserved by each Administration so that a complete set of Presidential records is transferred to the National Archives at the end of the Administration," said David S. Ferriero, archivist of the United States.""
