Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a jab at former president Donald Trump by tweeting a link Monday to merchandise she inspired with the tagline “but her emails.”
“Take a sip from your new mug as you read the news…,” Clinton wrote, sharing a Washington Post’s report about Trump’s alleged paper-shredding, along with a “but her emails” mug.
The ceramic drinkware features an illustration of a famous photo of Clinton, wearing sunglasses and scrolling on her Blackberry. The picture sparked a thousand memes when her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State came into question on the 2016 campaign trail – which her opponent Trump, 75, constantly criticized as suspicious and led his followers to a “lock her up” chants.
However, an FBI investigation determined that Clinton did not break the law and should not face charges for having her email on a private server.
Clinton’s tweet comes as the House Select Committee continues investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The panel has reportedly received White House records from the National Archives that had been ripped up by Trump and taped back together.
“Some of the Trump presidential records received by the National Archives and Records Administration included paper records that had been torn up by former President Trump,” the National Archives confirmed in a statement.
The Presidential Records Act requires that official White House materials such as memos, letters, emails and other communications related to the president are owned by the public and must be preserved and sent to the National Archives as historical records.
For months, Trump fought to keep the bipartisan House Jan 6 Panel from reviewing the documents as part of their investigation into the deadly insurrection last year.
However, the Supreme Court rejected the former president’s request to keep the records secret from House investigators.
