Reeks of the State Department trying to destroy evidence, tbh

This is DOJ so it may (probably) not be directly related, but it reminds me of this other story from today: https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1179162833055027202

tl;dr: A watchdog group filed a lawsuit back in May accusing the Trump administration of failing to create and properly save records of Trump's conversations with foreign leaders, well before any of this became front and center. That group requested an emergency order requiring the White House to preserve records of all of Trump's calls with foreign leaders today because y'know it suddenly became a lot more relevant.

DOJ was hedging hard and was repeatedly questioned by the judge why they couldn't simply give voluntary assurance that they wouldn't destroy the records as opposed to the alternative where she'd be forced to rule on the order.
