General election is imminent. Wiill any parties be offering robust (custodial) sanction for criminal disregard of public records legislation. No democracy without accountability, and no accountability without evidence.
Remember when Rishi Sunak told the Covid inquiry he did “not have access” to his whatsapp messages from his time running the Treasury because he had changed his phone several times and failed to back them up? amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/…

A resonant piece, but with a gap between emotions & accountability. Without proof, justice is compromised. The injustice shouldn’t have happened. Records should have been kept. We can’t change the past. We CAN change the future. We must fight for evidence. cbc.ca/newsinteractives/feat…

I wrote a book in 2019 about the importance of protecting records in a digital age. I even warned about Trump’s actions then.
Please can we start focusing less on “archives = old” and more on “archives = accountability”? @charlie_savage @nytimes @USNatArchives #Amatteroffacts

This piece by @charlie_savage is accurate but it doesn’t go far enough. Archivists don’t just store old documents for history. Archivists protect evidence to keep government officials accountable to the people. We can’t just hope presidents will comply. @nytimes @USNatArchives 1/
The furor surrounding the Trump documents case has dragged the National Archives, a normally quiet part of the administrative state, into the spotlight. What do the civil servants who work at the agency actually do? nytimes.com/interactive/2023…
