A federal judge has ordered the White House to preserve a wide range of evidence about President Donald Trump’s dealings with foreign leaders, including his interactions related to Ukraine that have fueled an impeachment investigation in the House.Thursday, directing that White House officials not destroy records of “meetings, phone calls, and other communications with foreign leaders.
Justice Department lawyers said in a court filing Wednesday that the White House had already taken steps to secure many of the records the plaintiffs expressed concern about. The filing also suggested that in response to the request for a restraining order, White House lawyersJustice Department attorneys said those actions met a request by the judge to “moot” the groups’ request for a restraining order.
Jackson’s decision to issue an order despite the pledge to the court to maintain the records is rather unusual. In most instances, judges simply note such a pledge and say they assume that the parties involved will abide by it. The order means anyone destroying White House records it covers could be subject to sanction or even criminal charge for contempt of court.
Sad day in America when majority of Americans know this Trump is working for Russia and not Americans he is a national emergency for America and must be removed
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And you really think they haven’t done or will not do? Trump and his criminal syndicate doesn’t follow the rule law. This shall we say “injunction”will just be added to the list of things to challenge or ignore. He is surrounded by supposedly men of law that will use of trick.
Politico: You are loaded with fake, corrupt news ! You are an arm of the Left Wing Loonies. Are you all wearing hip boots because the swamp is pretty deep!
It’s sad but this administration hates the truth so much that they would.
Unbelievable that a judge has to order them NOT to destroy documents. Wonder what they're hiding?
Maybe time for the Hillary rules
Yawn. He is not afraid. Liberal pipe dream
Hopefully he ordered that same thing for Biden and Obama transcripts. Those are going to be interesting.
Dawaj dawaj Trump do Turków.. Izraelskie kurwy będą bzykać twoja rodzinę łącznie z twoim synem
As if they didn't destroyed it already. 😕😕😕😕
In keeping with trumps record of hypocrisy he should be burning those records right about .....now.
Give us the watergate tapes. WhiteHouse You owe us at least 5 Putin calls. realDonaldTrump ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr ImpeachTheMF ImpeachTrump
If they fail to comply with the court/ judges orders they should be prosecuted. Anyone who doesn’t comply with the law or the constitution including the president should be prosecuted in the appropriate manner fitting for their office.
This corrupt Lawless president has already broken so many of the laws and pay no attention to any of the rules and regulations why would this make any difference😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Federal Judge? Really? An Obama appointee BIASED POS CORRUPT TO THE CORE LIBERAL JUDGE? In Mafia they have a trigger guy (Marked Mafia guys)in liberal Dem. party the judges appointed by Obama act like MARKED MAFIA GUYS-corrupt to the core! They don't even have any conscious left.
What else would we expect from Politico, but more liberal media rhetoric.
Yet Hillary destroyed emails, phones, records... Trump hasn’t destroyed anything. He released the transcript. More liberal rhetoric.
Can we lock him up until he is impeached & then has a quick trip to jail
Which means he will, lawlessness
Uh oh..its about to get real nasty! The Mob boss President is about to get busted big time!
Ummm. I’m sure everything was destroyed already...why would they wait?
Oops ! Too late ! Dang !
Like Killary?
Oh that’s fun Obama and Biden’s phone calls need to be exposed also and Adam ships and Pelosi
The WH should do as good a job preserving those documents as Hillary Clinton did at preserving her emails that were under subpoena.
Such a joke. Trump isn’t known to destroy records unlike HRC’s 30,000 emails.
A judge has no authority to direct to the white house to do anything
So a liberal judge appointed by Obama tells the president to do this? Seems reasonable. Lol.
Oh yah they really listen to judges
Lol. Now do Hillary Clinton.
too late
Good thing this Administration is so great at following the law! 🙄
Just emulate the FBI and CIA. When asked to produce a document or notes, tell them they've been mislaid.
He is so unliked that there are probably more than a couple countries that would release transcripts or recordings if somehow some way our copies were lost
Lol...Federal Judge thinks he runs the government, now?🙄
Oh, is this like when they told Hillary not to destroy anything after she was subpoenaed? Well, in her case, she did destroy them, so let us call this.... give me yours and I'll give you mine.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of president Barack Obama, wink, wink
Oooooooh hope they do and judge finds WH in contempt and throws it into jail
Oh please. Such drama. Sickening
Delete them like those 33k emails
“What we can’t hear you over our shredder”
What's left anyway!
We can ignore that. It's okay to destroy and delete anything. Hillary said so.
As if a mere court order would stop them.
They've already done it
...yet Hillary did without consequence.
Do they really think they will obey ?
So when do we get to see all of Obama’s transcripts? Maybe the famous tarmac meeting w/ Bill Clinton? F*ck it, let’s go full disclosure with every elected official. Expose them all. If they have nothing to hide, they will back this plan.
Democrats have set an ugly precedent - every future president, Dem & GOP alike, will be severely limited in dealings in America’s interests with foreign governments. We WILL want to see EVERY democrat president’s transcripts w/ ANY calls to foreign heads of state. Trump2020
Watch them destroy everything that they think they can get away with. What they don't know won't hurt them and you are dealing with the most lawless regime ever in office. They have absolutely zero respect for the law and have an Attorney General that backs them up on it.
I believe records of the President meeting phone call &. Other communications with foreign leaders may have already been destroyed
Lmao, like trump’s gonna listen.
Ha. Ha. Ha.* *Ha.
WHAT ABOUT HILLARY.
TRUMP: Judges... we don't need no steenking judges. I have the absolute power to do whatever I want to do. Start shredding , deleting, wiping and smashing. Dont tell Hannity... he needs plausible deniability.
It’s okay...Jared will take care of it.
Lying Trump is fighting for his life...If he loses reelection he knows criminal cases will follow and a jail cell awaits.
They haven't payed attention to any laws yet.
Nuxve is demanding bc clueless the whole party fn cr,y all they bod for three years is make upnlids about trump
Another Obama appointee activist Judge.
It’s happening... 😎
He and is flying monkey’s will ignore that.
Like Hillary preserved her emails😜 or how her staff smashed their government issued cell phones?😉
Hope it was a white, American born judge. That's one less tweet we need to endure.
And Hillsry’s emails were to be turned over and yet she destroyed them. Smashed phones. Bleach bit her severs. And she walks. Justice has been corrupted and destroyed by Democrats.
I don't trust the administration to do it.
Yep, that would be an Obama appointee.
But will they comply?
Including the super sercret server?
jhadleyconrad Good luck with that. They just got a list of the things they now know they need to hide or destroy.
These people are lawless .. not sure they care
Probably too late already.
KATMill75314876 They are criminals. They won’t listen.
Do you think they’ll comply? Such despicable corruption from top to bottom.
I can hear the shredders now !!
Tell the dems' federal judge to shove it.
Let’s see Obama’s dealings with foreign leaders. Let’s parse and regurgitate every word uttered in the Clinton White House.
Go, Judge Jackson!!
I think Donald Trump has been cornered. With U.S Congress subpoena he has no options, he must stop the cover-up.
Ok. Now do Hillary Clinton.
Yeah right. Good luck ordering the WH anything. Try to win an election instead
Surprise surprise! An Obama lawyer!! Idiots some things need privacy so things can get done especially with this house who nit pick and hallucinate about everything this president does. How about letting him do his job!!
What are they going to do a HRC? WHY WOULDNT THEY PRESERVE THEM? To the Dem Ahole(s) who filed the motion & the bigger Grand Canyon Ahole judge that ordered it, GFY
woods353 I can hear the shredder from here.
Hey ya POTUS Just 2 words on this judicial order: GOOSE ... COOKED
Can you people in the media explain the actual documents and audio evidence that backs up this timeline. Not to mention the money trail.
ImpeachmentTaskForce
They should do what Hilary did destroy phones and bleach bit everything
Good luck with that - trump has likely eaten all his notes, acid washed any relevant papers and taken a sledge hammer to the super secret server.
ah yes... another liberal hack judge
Good
This is ridiculous. A complete violation of separation of powers.
They can irder whatever... he will not comply. And further more... nothing will happen. But if it was me... I’d be in jail.
michikokakutani Already deleted.
ErinBeenWavy Everything he does is on record, recorded, written and cemented
Orangeman1992 Yeah, that ought to work.
'You mean these?' Trump bellowed from the White House lawn, tossing a match into a dumpster full of documents.
Yes thank you SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi
And what’s The consequence if they don’t?
This will be overturned by the Supreme Court!!! Amy Jackson doesn’t oversee the White House! She must have been given orders by RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi to fight with our realDonaldTrump! realDonaldTrump - please check which liars sent the orders as this is deliberate!
🌟⭐🗺🌐🌏💌
The judge actually said nothing. It's already the law that all communications be perserved. It's also normal prevent leaking these communications. Obama had the AP wiretapped, journalists investigated, intimidated and charged. Nothing story on the actions of a nothing judge.
Sooner or later.
The underlying problem here is this WH refuses to follow orders and simply doesn’t take orders period from anyone and they keep getting away with it.
Federal. Judge.
😏 He can't be that bad.... In all his presidency I've only identified two things worthy of criticism: 1) Everything he says 2) Everything he does
dan_bernstein He's not a Democrat, he doesn't play those games.
The fact that there isn’t a law mandating the recording of all the presidents does is insanity. That goes for all politicians and public servants.
Surprise, surprise...an Obama appointee judge
Yeah, like that's going to matter without this one!
The White House can destroy or disobey the order if they want to, that’s just another Article of impeachment against Trump on top of the other articles of impeachment he has waiting for him!!!
Too late , they destroyed it
randypcox Yea.... like that will stop them from “Delete *.*”... Y Click
We all Teflon Don of the Mob. Now meet the new teflon Don of the White H.ouse
This must be a deceitful judge
They are probably destroying it
Sevenfold747 Hey WhiteHouse THIS is still America!
I’m sure they’ll comply.
And the judge is a biased liberal Obama appointee who is a political heck and is a registered Democrat.
