On June 8, 2023, Gary Stern, the General Counsel of the National Archives arrived at the White House for a meeting with Special Counsel to President Biden Richard Sauber. The meeting reportedly took place in the Navy Mess, a “nautical” themed dining room run by the seafaring military branch, according to White House records.
It is not known what Stern and Sauber discussed, but the very same day, the Justice Department filed its indictment against former President Donald Trump alleging he “unlawfully” retained classified documents.
The record of the meeting, obtained from the Biden White House visitor logs is the latest evidence showing the close cooperation between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Biden White House regarding the Trump classified documents case.
As Just the News recently reported, Stern began communicating with White House officials as early as May 2021 as he sought to retrieve documents retained by former President Trump. The Archives asserts that Trump improperly retained these documents after his term ended, a belief disputed by Trump’s legal team.
Last week, newly unsealed court documents showed that beginning in 2021, the Biden White House coordinated closely with Archives officials, presumably to ratchet up pressure on Trump to return classified documents and coordinated with Justice Department officials to draft a criminal referral.
These efforts came at the same time that President Biden’s staff was made aware of the president’s own classified documents problem.
