that he knowingly violated the law. we have a lot of evidence to suggest he was on notice for a couple of these things. there is two big criminal statutes on point here. we talked about the presidential records act. put that aside. criminal law, there is one on actually the destruction of federal property, we know that is potentially on the table here. again it would require him to knowingly break the law. the second one is the mishandling of classified information. and that one is interesting because as the president, he has the ultimate classification authority. he's the commander in chief. as the former president, he has an obligation to protect classified information. did he know it was classified and destroy it anyway? these are the sort of open questions we have and we need more reporting on. >> all the reporting does say he was warned by chiefs of staff, two, not to destroy stuff and also by the white house counsel. >> they have burn bags. there is no reason for him to flush anything down the toilet.
