The shredding instruction regarding sensitive documents was first reported by ProPublica.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,&#8221; the email reads. If you need to use the burn bags, do not overfill, and ensure the burn bag can be closed with staples at the top. The only labeling required on the burn bags are the words &#8216;SECRET&#8217; and &#8216;USAID\/(B\/IO)&#8217; in dark sharpie if possible. If you need additional burn bags or sharpie markers, please let me or the SEC InfoSec team know.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The documents being ordered destroyed could be evidence for multiple court filings against the Trump administration and the government aid agency, one source familiar with the instructions about the handling of USAID records told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>USAID staff also received another email around midday, Tuesday, instructing them to come by the USAID annex offices in Washington this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to retrieve personal belongings. The email obtained by CBS News reads, &#8220;Staff will be given 15 minutes to complete this retrieval and must be finished removing items within their time slot only.&#8221; The email also appears to contradict the other email on how records should be handled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While collecting their items, staff must ensure that proper records management practices are employed when identifying and\/or disposing records, pursuant to the Federal Records Act and ADS 502,&#8221; the email said.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Democracy Forward and Public Citizen Litigation Group <a href=\"https:\/\/democracyforward.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/USAID-emergency-TRO.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">filed a motion<\/a> for an emergency temporary restraining order to stop what they called the unlawful destruction of federal records at USAID.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The State Department has so far not responded to CBS News&#8217; requests for comment on either the email or the list of USAID grants that have been terminated by the State Department. On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio tweeted from his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/marcorubio\/status\/1899021361797816325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">personal X account<\/a> confirming that 83% of USAID programs have been canceled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In response to a question from CBS on if and when the full list of terminated grants will be made available to the public during last week&#8217;s State Department press briefing, spokesperson Tammy Bruce said she did not yet have an answer on this. She added, &#8220;It&#8217;s important, because many Americans have questions about the nature of the details of what&#8217;s happening.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
