haberman s new book that, quote, white house resident staff found papers clogged the toilet le leading staff to believe trump had flushed materials he d ripped to pieces. he also took 15 boxes to mar-a-lago. you worked in the west wing. what do you know about trump ripping up documents? i m sure you didn t go into the bathroom with him, but flushing stuff down? so i did witness him ripping papers. i think it was kind of just he does that. i know the staff secretary had to piece back together papers to archive them. the bigger issue here among the many grievances i have with trump, i don t know that not archiving is a huge issue. but the classified information mishandling is huge. i criticized hillary clinton for the same thing. the idea that he himself may have done exactly what we hit her for for five years is
