CNN: Staff Says Trump Flushed Papers Down Toilet at White House

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “Good morning, guys. Thanks for having me. So, as I was reporting out this book, I learned that staff in the White House residence would periodically find the toilet clogged. The engineer would have to come and fix it. And what the engineer would find would be wads of, you know, clumped up wet, printed paper, meaning it was not toilet paper. This was either notes or some other piece of paper that, you know, they believe he had thrown down the toilet. What it could be, Brianna, it could be anybody’s guess. It could be post-its, it could be notes he wrote to himself. It could be other things. We don’t know. But it certainly does add as you said another dimension to what we know about how he handled material in the White House. We have known for several years since my colleague Andy Carney broke the story that Trump ripped up pieces of paper and that his staff had to tape it back together for archival purposes. This is how he has handled documents and pieces of paper all his life in terms of ripping them up. But this was something different and it was not, as I’m told, an isolated incident.”
