A new book titled 'Confidence Man' has revealed that White House staff, during former president Donald Trump's time in office, regularly found a toilet clogged after Trump tried to flush down documents and often wads of printed paper.
The book by Maggie Haberman stated that Trump and his staff often violated federal regulations on record keeping.
Republican former president in a statement called the claims “categorically false.” “Staff in the White House would periodically find the toilet clogged” and would then find “wads of clumped up, wet printed paper ... either notes or some other piece of paper that they believe he had thrown down the toilet” in his bathroom, Haberman told CNN, adding it was unclear what types of documents were found. Trump has said that the boxes of records were sent to the Archives.
The book also states that the former president has stayed in touch with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un after leaving office. The National Archives in January recovered 15 boxes of federal records from Trump's residence at his resort in the Mar-a-Lago club. "As required by the Presidential Records Act the records should have been transferred to NARA from the White House at the end of the Trump Administration in January 2021,” the National Archives and Records Administration told US Today.
