In the wake of news about former President Donald Trump's penchant for destroying important documents while in office, Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 Presidential election to Trump, took to Twitter to troll her former political opponent.
During his successful run to the White House, Trump often vilified Clinton for her use of a private email server in her home while handling official business during her time as Secretary of State under then-President Barack Obama.
Trump's relentless verbal assaults resulted in an official Republican-led Congressional inquiry into Clinton's private server and frequent chants of "Lock her up!" at Trump rallies, due to thousands of emails that had been deleted rather than archived as official government communications.
And yet, a report from the Washington Post reported this week that Trump didn't exactly keep the records of his own official business confined to the security of the Oval Office.
From the Washington Post exposé: "The National Archives and Records Administration last month retrieved 15 boxes of documents and other items from former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence because the material should have been turned over to the agency when he left the White House, Archives officials said Monday… The Archives has struggled to cope with a president who flouted document retention requirements and frequently ripped up official documents, leaving hundreds of pages taped back together – or some that arrived at the Archives still in pieces."
Reporting from the New York Times added: "In response to the House select committee investigation into the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, Mr. Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, provided hundreds of pages of documents, some of which came from his personal cellphone. The committee said it had questions about why Mr. Meadows had used a personal cellphone, a Signal account and two personal Gmail accounts to conduct official business, and whether he had properly turned over all records from those accounts to the National Archives."
So perhaps it's understandable why Clinton might take a moment out of her day to drop a little snark into the social-mediaverse over these recent revelations.
