The letter, released by the Archives Friday, also provided more detail on reports that Trump tore up records after being warned not to while he was President.
The Archives arranged for the transport of about 15 boxes of records from Trump’s Florida resort last month after the agency sought them from the former President’s team.
“NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” Ferriero wrote, responding to a question from the House. “Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice.”
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
