The National Archives
The former president had battled to keep secret the information on activity surrounding the U.S. Capitol riot.
The National Archives said it also discovered records that had been torn up and taped back together.
The records administration retrieved boxes of White House documents from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence that should not have been there.
Such records, legally required to be turned over, are "critical to our democracy, in which the government is held accountable, said the nation's chief archivist.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Staffers grabbed piles of paper torn up by Trump to try to reconstruct documents that were legally required to be preserved, The Washington Post reports.
The National Archives received the papers at the end of the Trump administration and handed them over to lawmakers for their inquiry into the Capitol riot.
The National Archives made public secret cables, internal memos and other documents to satisfy an order by President Biden.
The National Archives said it is working with Meadows, who is also clashing with a House panel over records related to the Capitol riot.
The FBI set off warning bells about Lee Harvey Oswald the month before President John F. Kennedy's killing.
But President Trump chose to keep a number of the documents secret for another 180 days.
