Clinton chides Trump over allegations he flushed documents down the White House toilet: 'But her emails'

Hillary Clinton made light on Friday of allegations by former Trump administration staffers that they found ripped-up documents clogging a White House toilet and that they believe then-President Donald Trump had attempted to flush them.

The allegations made by the former White House staffers appear in the forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman titled "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America."

Trump, whose response to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol is being investigated by a House select committee, was discovered last week to have improperly removed boxes of documents from the White House in possible violation of the Presidential Records Act. Some of the documents contained in 15 boxes that have since been retrieved were marked "classified" and "top secret," the Washington Post reported.

On Thursday, Trump issued a statement denying that he had ever flushed official documents down a White House toilet.

"Another fake story, that I flushed papers and documents down a White House toilet, is categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book," Trump said in the statement.

Haberman's reporting was corroborated, however, by Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs.

Clinton's reference to "Galentine's Day" refers to a term coined in an episode of the sitcom "Parks and Recreation" in which the female characters create a holiday to celebrate friendships between women.
