A new report claims that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) instructed employees to “shred” and “burn” classified documents amid the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the size of the agency and eliminate most USAID programs.
In an email obtained by NBC News, USAID Acting Executive Secretary Erica Carr thanked the agency’s employees for their “assistance in clearing our classified safes and personnel documents,” which was scheduled to begin on Tuesday. Carr reportedly told USAID employees, “Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.”
