Rep. Pfluger works to prevent Biden-Harris Administration from destroying documents

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) is working to ensure sensitive Biden-Harris Administration documents and records are protected during the Presidential Transition in accordance with guidelines set by the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA):

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): "During the Presidential Transition, agencies and departments must maintain records and preserve documents and communications in accordance with NARA guidelines. Any individual in the federal ranks who destroys records to conceal information from the newly elected administration should face consequences. Expectations for a peaceful transfer of power should encompass the entire administration, and not just the Office of the President. 

I also recently introduced legislation to train the workforce and levy penalties on any federal bureaucrat who attempts to resist or subvert the will of the duly elected President of the United States. The American people spoke loud and clear. We must ensure federal employees who brazenly resisted the Trump Administration previously accept the results of the election and conduct themselves as non-partisan civil servants under a second Trump presidency."
