WND | Key evidence on whether the Obama administration spied on the Trump
team may be kept under lock and key for five years, at former President
Obama’s presidential library.
Perhaps just as surprising, the announcement came from President Trump’s own National Security Council, or NSC.
There are still a publicly unknown number of Obama holdovers on the NSC, but there’s no word yet on how the decision was made.
The government-watchdog group Judicial Watch announced Monday the NSC
had denied its Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, request for
documents related to President Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan
Rice’s alleged unmasking of the “identities of any U.S. citizens
associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team.”
In a potentially bombshell development, the NSC said those documents
have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library, while
pointedly adding, “you should be aware that under the Presidential
Records Act, presidential records remain closed to the public for five
years after an administration has left office.”
It’s not yet known if that would block congressional investigators,
the FBI, or Special Counsel Robert Mueller from obtaining the documents.
