the national archives has been trying to get donald trump to return documents since the end of his presidency. i m john berman. brianna is off. cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is with us this morning. this timeline we just keep getting more data points. it s like every day you learn that the conversations on getting these documents back goes back further than we thought. it was a problem it seems from the beginning. an email from the national archives indicates that records were not returned by trump despite a determination by a top white house lawyer that they should be. a source says there were about a dozen emails and calls over the course of 2021, this is last year, including a may 2021 email from the archives to trump s lawyers that reads in part, quote, it is also our understanding that roughly two dozen boxes of original presidential records were kept in the residence of the white house over the course of president trump s last year in office an
president biden: no. todd: griff jenkins is in washington with the latest from the president s trip. griff. griff: good morning, carley and todd. joe biden s first trip to asia ends just moments from now. you are looking live at air force one, waiting to get wheels up from tokyo, just after 6 p.m. there. caps swing through south korea and japan intended to highlight a new economic pact. as you saw, the president leaves major questions looming over the u.s. policy toward taiwan, which the white house was forced to walk back in a statement and defense secretary austin tried to clean up yesterday. our one china policy has not changed. he reiterated that policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the taiwan strait. griff: not the first time the white house has had to clarify for the president, drawing harsh criticism from china s leaders and earlier this morning in one of the president s last public events, biden was hammered with questions over whether he

However, my point was just to say that you can be lowlevel george, you can be low on the org chart and still be the guy who goes to moscow and was sending plenty of emails to people who were high level. High level, theres now it seems like there may be a fair number of people, including high level steve, mr.
