USAID Ordered To Destroy Documents

What is the administration trying to hide?

ProPublica reports that USAID employees have been directed to destroy all classified and personnel records.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

ProPublica source Kel McClanahan of the National Security Counselors indicates this is an illegal action per the Federal Records Act.
