I have never seen so many threats against, judges, governors, the media, politicians, and law enforcement and now this?!! Sound like the MAGA crowd?!!
Acting archivist Debra Steidel Wall has told staff simply working to enforce the law to stand strong.
The National Archives and Records Administration has become yet another target of threats in the wake of attacks by former President Donald Trump after the FBI seized government documents from his Mar-a-Lago residence, sources have told The WashingtonPost.
After Trump unleashed a torrent of invective against an agency widely viewed as librarian-like and apolitical, police increased patrols around the National Archives building in Washington, D.C., due to a troubling “spike in online chatter” about the facility, sources told the Post.
It was the National Archives that ultimately set in motion the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago when it alerted the Department of Justice last year about concerns that Trump had not turned over all White House documents to the agency at the end of his term, as the Presidential Records Act requires.
Earlier this month, the FBI seized several boxes of material stashed at Mar-a-Lago, including classified, and even top secret, information.
Trump later ranted in an attack on NARA that all anyone had to do was simply ask for the documents. But communications included in the affidavit supporting the search revealed that U.S. officials had been attempting since early last year to retrieve the documents.
Not only were several boxes of documents recovered, but officials noted in the affidavit that the records — including highly sensitive national security information — were also haphazardly stored with other papers.
