Former President Trump’s personal aide at the White House, Nick Luna, told the Jan. 6 committee that he saw Trump tearing up documents. Former President Trump’s personal White House aide told the Jan. 6 committee that he personally witnessed his old boss tearing up documents, CBS News reported Tuesday. “Did I ever see him tear up notes? I don’t know what the documents were, but there [was] tearing,” Nick Luna told investigators on March 21, according to CBS News, which obtained audio recordings of his testimony. Trump’s enthusiasm for not complying with the Presidential Records Act, which mandates that presidential documents be carefully preserved and then handed over to the National Archives, is well-known. In fact, it’s the source of one of the many current investigations into him. Luna’s testimony provides even more evidence for the case that Trump, who was just referred for criminal charges by the congressional committee investigating the Capitol riot, may have intentionally broken that law.
