President Trump and his White House staffers are breaking federal law by using confidential messaging apps that keep their conversations from entering public records, a federal lawsuit charged Thursday.
Two Washington watchdog groups accused Trump and his workers of illegally deleting emails, official records and even tweets sent to millions of people.
"President Trump and others within the White House are either ignoring or outright flouting these responsibilities,” the civil complaint from the National Security Archive and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) says.
The deletions could be a violation of the Presidential Records Act, which says White House internal communications must be preserved.
Oh my how fast the tune changes when it's Trump deleting emails. I can't wait to see all the outrage from all the GFY red hats.. They wouldn't be little hypocrites about this now would they. I mean they literally raged about Hillary for a year for deleting emails, obviously they will now hold the same standards for Trump.. Right???
Trump staff have been using Signal, an encrypted app to send messages and they aren't keeping copies as "REQUIRED" by federal law.. They are also using Confide which automatically deletes messages after they are read once again failing to comply with Federal record keeping laws..
All the outrage from Trump supporters & Republicans about Hillary supposedly deleting emails and now here they are purposely deleting emails and messages and violating the law not even 6 months into his term..
LOCK HIM UP... Can't wait to see all the excuses.. Add yet ANOTHER lawsuit against Trump for ethic violations..
"Trust me people my admin is gonna be so transparent, the most transparent admin ever"
MAGA @ impeachment hearing!
