In a court filing shortly before midnight Tuesday, the Justice Department disputed Trump’s request to appoint a “special master” to review material recovered by the FBI during the search of his Mar-a-Lago estate on August 8, before a hearing. on the subject on Thursday. But the Justice Department filing went further, including a photo of some of the highly classified documents recovered from Trump’s Florida home. The filing also describes the interactions between federal prosecutors and the former president’s team that led to the FBI investigation. “The government . . . has developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from storage and that efforts were likely made to obstruct the government’s investigation,” the Justice Department said. “That the FBI, within hours, discovered twice as many classified documents as the ‘diligent investigation’ that the former president’s lawyer and other representatives had weeks to conduct casts serious doubt on the statements made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter,” he added. According to the filing, federal investigators seized 13 boxes or containers containing more than 100 classified documents during the search at Mar-a-Lago. Some of the classified material was recovered from Trump’s office at the estate and is mixed in with other personal items, including a framed copy of a Time magazine cover. On Wednesday, Trump responded on his social media platform, saying: “Horrible how the FBI, during the Mar-a-Lago raid, randomly threw documents all over the floor (maybe pretending I did it !) and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see. They thought they wanted to keep it a secret. Lucky I got disqualified!” Previous court filings, including the government’s affidavit in support of the search warrant, revealed that Trump faces a criminal investigation for possible violations of the Espionage Act — which covers the handling of sensitive information related to national defense — as well as obstruction of justice. research and mismanagement of public records.

The investigation comes as Trump remains the presumptive front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, according to polls of Republican voters. He has suggested that he intends to run for a second term in the White House. The search of Trump’s home by federal agents sparked a backlash across conservative America, after it was branded a politically motivated stunt designed to curb his political ambitions. The investigation also added a twist to congressional campaigns ahead of November’s midterm elections. Some Republicans rushed to Trump’s defense and attacked the FBI and Justice Department, while others were more scathing as evidence emerged of possible wrongdoing by the former president.
