Photos suggest Trump blocked toilets with ripped-up White House documents

Images published ahead of new book on 45th presidency offer possible evidence of violations of Presidential Records Act

Claims that Donald Trump periodically blocked up White House and other drains with wads of paper appear to be borne out in photographs leaked ahead of the publication of a new account of the 45th presidency.

On Monday, Axios published photos of folded-up paper, marked with Trump's telltale handwriting, using his favored pen, a Sharpie, submerged at the bottom of various toilet bowls.
