Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former senior White House official has accused the White House administration of destroying several boxes of evidence that should have been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation.
Manigault Newman explained how she was instructed to leave several boxes of documents relating to Trump's campaign when she was fired in December 2017.
She said that the order was a 'clear directive' that she and other White House staff had to preserve all documents potentially related to Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
