In addition to the First Daughter’s misuse of her “personal emails”, the First Dude — former “Czar of Everything” — appears to have a scoff-law email problem of his own.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a powerful White House aide, is not preserving all of her official email communications as required by federal law, the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee said on Thursday.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said in a letter that Trump's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, informed the committee late last year that Trump doesn't preserve official emails she receives in her personal account if she doesn't respond to them. Cummings says that appears to violate the Presidential Records Act.

The dispute arose as Cummings raised the latest concern about the use of private email and messaging applications to conduct official White House business. It also details the use of the messaging application WhatsApp by Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and of personal email accounts by other former senior White House aides that Cummings says "raises additional security and federal records concerns." Some of those communications involved a proposal to transfer U.S. nuclear power technology to Saudi Arabia.
Government officials are required to keep Government-related emails, as part of the Official Record.
It is not optional. Despite how many times Daddy-dearest ignores the Official rules …

Funny, you’d think these would count as official Government Records too:

Looks like ‘Russia has been listening’ afterall — it’s the American People who’ve been cut out of the loop.

(With a track record like that, no wonder they don’t want to preserve their History.)
