Filing seeks to force National Archives to tap DOJ to recover lost Secret Service, DHS texts around Jan. 6
Fox News
A lawsuit seeks to implore the National Archives to ask the U.S. attorney general for help recovering Secret Service, DHS messages lost during the Trump-Biden transition.
It names the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the primary agency responsible for assisting federal agencies in maintaining adequate and proper documentation of policies and transactions of the federal government, and Debra Steidel Wall, in her official capacity as the acting archivist of the United States, as defendants. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more. Story tips can be sent to danielle.wallace@fox.com and on Twitter: @danimwallace.
The suit cites a provision of the Federal Records Act that implores the archivist to seek action from the U.S. attorney general upon the discovery of actual or impending destruction of federal records.
