America First Legal: Obama Foundation Likely Stored Classified Docs IllegallyWendell Husebø 5 May 2023
The Obama Foundation likely stored classified presidential records illegally in a private facility at Hoffman Estates in Illinois for more than a year after President Barack Obama left the White House, according to America First Legal (AFL).
In 2018, more than a year after Obama left the White House, the National Archives (NARA) and the Obama Foundation entered into an agreement to permit the foundation to maintain possession of presidential records for the purpose of digitizing and overseeing them as part of the Obama Presidential Center, AFL alleges.
The agreement shows the Obama Foundation kept classified documents at a private facility in Hoffman Estates, AFL contends, noting that NARA moved the documents from a location in Hoffman Estates to a NARA-controlled facility in the estate to “conform with the agency’s archival storage standards.”
According to AFL, it is unknown whether the Obama Foundation’s original facility at the estate conformed with NARA’s “archival storage standards,” raising the likelihood that the foundation illegally stored classified information.
In addition, to facilitate the transaction from the original facility to a location that conformed to NARA’s standards, the Obama Foundation paid NARA $3,300,000, America First Legal asserts.
