"As a former Trump ghostwriter (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa) I feel obligated to point out that Trump may well have taken files that he intended to promote as presidential memorabilia," Leerhsen wrote on Fb Monday evening.

Leerhsen's feedback came several hours right after Trump mentioned his Florida property, Mar-a-Lago, was raided by the FBI, professing brokers "broke into [his] protected" in a look for for documents he might have taken from the White Household.

Eric Trump, who was with his father in New York during the search, mentioned they thought the raid was linked to packing containers of elements Trump brought back again with him to his resort immediately after leaving workplace, adding the previous president had been collaborating with the Nationwide Archives and Data Administration in earlier months.

Eric Trump stated his father usually will save paperwork and retains in depth data of press clippings, pics, notes from his young children, letters from his ex-spouse, and far more.

Information kept at the resort had been gathered by the Nationwide Archives in January just after the agency determined paperwork taken off from the White Household. The agency explained its officers had received 15 containers of information from Mar-a-Lago, like elements marked as categorised countrywide safety data, that were being not provided to the Countrywide Archives, as is expected by the Presidential Information Act.
