Presidential records including "love letters" from Kim Jong-un had to be retrieved from Mar-a-Lago after Donald Trump improperly removed them from the White House, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

According to the Post, advisers to the former president "denied any nefarious intent and said the boxes contained mementos, gifts, letters from world leaders and other correspondence.

"The items included correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which Trump once described as 'love letters', as well as a letter left for his successor by Barack Obama."

Presidents traditionally leave a note for their Oval Office successor. Despite claiming the election was stolen from him, Trump left one for Joe Biden, which the current president has called both "very generous" and "private".

The National Archives and a Trump spokesman did not comment on the Post report. The records were returned to the Archives in January, the Post said.

Trump's treatment of White House records has been under the spotlight, amid a House investigation into the January 6 insurrection he incited.

Trump went to the supreme court but failed to stop records being transferred to the House committee. Some records the panel obtained were reportedly ripped up and taped back together - according to Trump's widely reported practice.
