Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mess has come back to haunt him just in time for tomorrow’s arraignment
Donald Trump prepares for his arraignment in the Stormy Daniels case tomorrow, there’s been a new development in the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into his alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.According to a bombshell report by The Washington Post, the DOJ has obtained more evidence suggesting potential obstruction by Trump that could be enough for a grand jury to charge him.Investigators believe the ex-president went through several of the top secret documents being stored at his Florida compound even after he received a subpoena from the Justice Department demanding the files be returned to decide which ones he wanted to keep.The fashion designer and the former White House occupant have had a contentious relationship in the press over the years.Per WaPo:In the classified documents case, federal investigators have gathered new and significant evidence that after the subpoena was delivered, Trump looked through the contents of some of the boxes of documents in his home, apparently out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession, the people familiar with the investigation said.Investigators now suspect, based on witness statements, security camera footage, and other documentary evidence, that boxes including classified material were moved from a Mar-a-Lago storage area after the subpoena was served, and that Trump personally examined at least some of those boxes, these people said.
While Trump’s team returned some documents with classified markings in response to the subpoena, a later FBI search found more than 100 additional classified items that had not been turned over.Investigators are now trying to determine Trump’s motives for what he did.Neither the FBI nor the DOJ has.
