Guardian: Some of the White House records turned over to the House committee investigating the January 6 attack were ripped up by Donald Trump.
JUST IN: @CNN is reporting that some of the White House records obtained by the January 6th Committee were torn up by former President Trump.
He was actively trying to conceal documents that would demonstrate his guilt.

The documents include diaries, schedules, handwritten notes, speeches and remarks. The supreme court rejected Trump’s attempt to stop the National Archives turning them over to Congress.

“These were turned over to the National Archives at the end of the Trump administration, along with a number of torn-up records that had not been reconstructed by the White House.

The Archives did not say how it knew Trump had torn the records but his habit of tearing up documents has been widely reported.

Lartey and another staffer who taped records were fired by the White House that year, they said summarily.
