The Administrator of Trump administrator to minister, burns classified documents

A new report argues that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has trained employees to “confess” and “burn” the documents classified against the end of the Trump administration to reduce the size of the agency and to eliminate most USAID programs.

In a -email obtained By NBC News, USAID’s Executive Secretary, Erica Carr, thanked the Agency’s employees for “their assistance in deleting our classified safes and personal documents”, which was scheduled to start on Tuesday. It seems that Carr told Usaid employees: “First of all, he confessed several documents and reserves the burning bags for the moment when Shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.”

A image From the Email Usaid was shared by Mike Benz, the director of the Freedom Online Foundation on X, the former Twitter.

At a time when the past historian of the USAID is most under the weapon and most important to publish public, what can benign reason could exist for mass grinding on paper, classified safes and staff information? Why is there no official public communication about the reason? https://t.co/1g6gptcztl

In a statement On social networks, Benz described the destruction of USAID documents as a “five -alarm fire” and warned: “This must be stopped!”

According to NBC News, a Emergency movement In order to stop the Document Documents, it was submitted by legal groups that opposed the Trump administration to close the agency. The motion said: “The defendants are, as this motion is submitted, destroying the documents with potential relevance to this dispute.”

“Although the applicants do not know at this time that records are destroyed, the destruction of records can seriously undermine the ability to operate the agency to operate,” the motion added. “For example, the destruction of records containing information about the agency’s operations can make it extraordinarily difficult – if not impossible – to recreate and rebuild the agency’s programming.”

According to NBC News, a Trump administration official claimed that three USAID employees were sent by controversial E -mail to destroy USAID documents.

The Trump administration official said: “Relevant documents for litigation are not classified – therefore, I am not part of this directive. They delete their building, because it will be used by Patrol Vaman and Frontier. “

“These are very old documents. They completely comply with the law on federal records of 1950 ”, added the official. “Everyone involved in this process had a secret or greater authorization and were approved by the Document Bureau they manage. Most content is courtesy. Most original children are still in classified computer systems. “

In a Common condition Lossed after the Emergency Motion on Tuesday, the American Association of External Services and the Trump administration have confirmed that the federal government “will not destroy additional documents stored in the USAID offices in the Ronald Reagan building, without giving the applicants and an opportunity to raise the problem with the court.”

The common status report explained that the Trump administration has not destroyed the “staff records” during the USAID documents on Tuesday and announced that the Trump administration will confirm “what are the documents and have not been destroyed” until Wednesday.
