Representatives for a quartet of former presidents say they turned over their classified records to the National Archives when they left office as President Biden, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence face questions about why classified materials were stowed at their homes.
Staff for George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama told CNN that their bosses turned over records to the National Archives and Records Administration in accordance with the Presidential Records Act in 1993, 2001, 2009 and 2017.
A representative for the late Mr. Bush, who served from 1989 to 1993, said the former president even turned over all of his papers when he left office and his personal papers were returned to him after the archives sorted through the material.
