House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced legislation today to strengthen the laws that govern how presidential administrations preserve records.
– the Presidential Records Certification Act of 2022 – would require the president, vice president and other White House officials to provide annual written certification to the White House counsel that they are in compliance with the Presidential Records Act.
An individual who lies or doesn’t file the certification would be vulnerable to a lawsuit from the Justice Department that could result in a civil penalty of up to $50,000.“I urge NARA to seek a personal certification from Donald Trump that he has surrendered all presidential records that he illegally removed from the White House after leaving office,” she wrote at the time to acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall.
“Even as we continue to investigate the full extent of this troubling conduct and the damage it has caused, it is clear that our law needs reform to prevent future abuses,” she said.
