The Archives sent the letter to representatives of former presidents including Donald Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush to name a few.
The National Archives has asked former U.S. presidents and vice presidents to recheck their personal records for any classified documents.The National Archives has asked former U.S. presidents and vice presidents to recheck their personal records for any classified documents following the news that President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence had such documents in their possession.
Responsibility to comply with the Presidential Records Act "does not diminish after the end of an administration," the Archives wrote in the letter.
Biden's lawyers came across classified documents from his time as vice president in a locked cabinet as they were packing up an office he no longer uses in November. Since then, subsequent searches by the FBI and Biden's lawyers have turned up more documents. Former Vice President Pence, too, this week, discovered documents and turned them in after saying previously he did not believe he had any.
It turns out that officials from all levels of government discover they are in possession of classified material and turn it over to authorities at least several times a year, according to another person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of classified documents.
