President Donald Trump fired Colleen Joy Shogan, the head of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
This is the same agency that targeted Trump over so-called “classified documents” lawfully stored at Mar-a-Lago.
“At the direction of President Trump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight. We thank Colleen Shogan for her service,” Sergio Gor, director of the Presidential Personnel Office said on Friday evening.
Joe Biden weaponized every agency.
NARA actually raided Mar-a-Lago months before Biden sent dozens of FBI agents to Trump’s Florida estate to seize presidential records.
In Early 2022, the National Archives, led by Debra Steidel at the time, asked the Justice Department to investigate Trump’s handling of White House records after it raided Mar-a-Lago.
The National Archives raided Mar-a-Lago in January 2022 and retrieved 15 Trump White House record boxes, according to the Washington Post.
NARA claimed classified records were found in Trump’s boxes at Mar-a-Lago.
“NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” Ferriero wrote, responding to a question from the House, according to CNN. “Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice.”
Trump routinely brought classified material to Mar-a-Lago, a place he dubbed his ‘Winter White House.’
Whenever President Trump has wanted to view/store classified material at Mar-a-Lago, he would do so in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility).
The classified material found by the National Archives was stored in the SCIF and it is not unusual for a former president to be in possession of classified documents.
Furthermore, a US president can declassify material at any time.
Trump insisted the documents were declassified as soon as he took them to Mar-a-Lago.
However, former Archivist Debra Steidel Wall sent Trump a letter informing him the National Archives are going to give Special Counsel Jack Smith 16 records which may prove the documents were not automatically declassified.
President Trump is right to fire Biden holdover Colleen Shogan.
