White House staff have reportedly been tasked with taping official documents back together due to Donald Trump’s habit of ripping up papers he is legally required to keep,
The Independent reports
Former aides have claimed they were regularly asked to repair records the president had destroyed.
The painstaking operation had to be launched due to Mr Trump’s tendency to tear papers he is finished with, a process described by some as his “filing system”.
However, the Presidential Records Act requires the White House to preserve many documents the president touches, sending them to the National Archives as a historical record.
