Donald Trump on Tuesday raged against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), demanding that the agency give back top-secret documents he illegally took from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort.
In a new post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump claimed NARA “is not a safe place” to have the documents, suggesting top secret files were safer being stored at his Florida residence. He also accused the agency of “exposing” former vice president Al Gore’s daughter.
“NARA lost a whole hard drive full of HIGHLY SENSTITIVE information from the Clinton White House,” Trump ranted. “More than 100,000 Social Security numbers and addresses, Secret Service and White House operating procedures (EXTREMELY SENSITIVE!).”
“There is no security at NARA,” he wrote. “I want my documents back!,” he fumed.

The former president is currently under investigation for improperly taking top-secret government documents and refusing to give them back even after the government issued a lawful subpoena for their return.
He could potentially face charges for violating the Espionage Act, as well as charges of obstruction of justice, according to a search warrant released by the Department of Justice in August.
