A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that U.S. Archivist David S. Ferriero’s letter provides the first official confirmation of classified material being in the boxes. It is likely to reignite calls that the Justice Department investigate to see how the information got out of secure facilities.
AP News published a centrist article reporting that the letter from the agency follows numerous reports around Trump’s handling of sensitive and even classified information during his time as president.
