SPECIAL: Trump issued statement against NARA, and his statement is in the below:
NARA lost a whole hard drive (https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/20/lost.hard.drive.clinton/index.html) full of HIGHLY SENSITIVE information from the Clinton White House more than 100,000 Social Security numbers and addresses, Secret Service and White House operating procedures (EXTREMELY SENSITIVE!), political records, and who knows what else. They left the hard drive in an unsecured location, and didn’t realize it was gone for months some say the data could have filled millions of books, and NARA admitted the material was “personally identifiable,” impacting thousands of White House staffers, visitors, and even one of Al Gore’s daughters. NARA actually had to offer a large ($50,000!) reward to try and get the information back. What else have they “lost”? How can Americans trust a system like this? There is no security at NARA. I want my documents back!
On top of the lost “Clinton Hard Drive,” there are also tapes from the George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan Administrations which were lost (https://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/14/us/some-bush-white-house-tapes-lost-archivists-say.html) AFTER having been ordered preserved by a Federal Judge. Some hard drives were even “damaged by sloppy handling in the transfer”! The National Archivist actually gave George H.W. Bush “exclusive legal control over all Presidential information.” Compare that to how unfairly and illegally the 45th President, me, has been treated!
