but applies to the ENTIRETY of the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch is NOT some free-wheeling independent entity with unilateral authority and without any check and balance (i.e., LAWS ENACTED BY CONGRESS THAT THE EXECUTIVE MUST UPHOLD), although the SCOTUS's Chief Enabler - John Roberts - has suggested some kind of "immunity" and unleashed an out-of-control monster who thinks everything "unlawful" that he does IS "lawful".

H.R.1233 - Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014

EVERY Department/agency has a Records Schedule for disposition of each of the types of documents that they generate and I expect those schedules were violated. From an article I found early this morning, they are now "whining" about what they were doing - https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-administration-handling-usaid-documents-violate-federal-laws/story?id=119731105
