Our Deep Dive for White House Records Starts in the Toilet
About this episode
The episode explores the allegations surrounding presidential papers potentially being flushed down a White House toilet during the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago.
In August 2022, on the day the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to recover files from Donald Trump's first term, another allegation was swirling around – that presidential papers may have been flushed down a White House toilet. This raised a lot of questions. How many documents could a person flush down a toilet? Could they be recovered? Did the FBI ever investigate? Join hosts Jason Leopold and Matt Topic, and producers Heather Schroering and Sean Cannon, on a journey of sinkholes, fatbergs and the power of public record searches.
