WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former President Donald Trump\u2019s administration has not turned over all presidential records and the National Archives will consult with the Justice Department on whether to move to get them back, the agency has told Congress.<\/p>

A congressional panel on Sept. 13 sought an urgent review by the National Archives and Records Administration after agency staff members acknowledged that they did not know if all presidential records from Trump\u2019s White House had been turned over.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should,\u201d acting Archivist Debra Wall said in a letter Friday to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.<\/p>\n

The Archives knows some White House staffers conducted official business on personal electronic messaging accounts that were that were not copied or forwarded to their official accounts, in violation of the Presidential Records Act, Wall said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNARA has been able to obtain such records from a number of former officials and will continue to pursue the return of similar types of presidential records from former officials,\u201d Wall said in the letter, first reported by the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

She said the Archives, the federal agency charged with preserving government records, would consult with the Department of Justice on \u201cwhether to initiate an action for the recovery of records unlawfully removed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oversight Committee shared a copy of the letter with Reuters but has not issued a statement on it yet.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Trump did not immediately return a request for comment on the matter.<\/p>\n

Trump is facing a criminal investigation by the Justice Department for retaining government records – some marked as highly classified, including \u201ctop secret\u201d – at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021.<\/p>\n

The FBI seized more than 11,000 records, including about 100 documents marked as classified, in a court-approved Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department and Trump\u2019s lawyers have been locked in a legal battle over how the records are handled. Government lawyers have been granted access to the classified documents but on Friday asked an appeals court to expedite its ability to access the non-classified documents seized in Florida.<\/p>\n
