Trump’s lawyer, Christina Bob, was the person who signed the June 3 letter certifying that all materials requested by the subpoena issued to Trump had been turned over to the Justice Department, two sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.
After receiving the subpoena, Trump’s team said it conducted a “diligent search” of boxes moved from the White House to Florida after Trump left office, according to the letter included in a DOJ filing late Tuesday. Specifically, the letter Bob signed says she swears or affirms that “the above statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.”
Although she was named in Tuesday night’s filing, sources tell CNN that it was Bob who signed the letter and was named the custodian of the records. Bob and Trump’s lawyer, Evan Corcoran, attended the meeting with federal investigators at Mar-a-Lago in June, when agents were shown a warehouse where the materials were kept.
The New York Times, which first reported that Bob had signed the document, reported that Corcoran drafted the June statement that Bob signed.
Bobb and Corcoran did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment. They have not been charged with any crime. In its court filing Tuesday, the Justice Department said the FBI “uncovered multiple sources of evidence indicating that the response to the May 11 grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the facility despite the affidavit made to the government on June 3.” “That the FBI, in a matter of hours, discovered twice as many redacted documents as the “diligent investigation” that the former President’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to conduct casts serious doubt on the statements made in the June 3 certification. and questions the extent of cooperation in this matter,” the DOJ wrote.
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said the statements made in the June certification are demonstrably false, and the question is whether prosecutors can prove that Trump’s lawyer “made that statement, knowing it to be false.” “If so — and that’s a big if — then we could see perjury and obstruction charges in play,” Honig said. The new scrutiny over Bob’s signed statement is just the latest in which questions have swirled about the conduct of Trump’s legal team following the FBI’s search of his Florida home and resort. Sources close to Trump have questioned the role of Bob, a former One America News Network anchor who previously aided Rudy Giuliani’s behind-the-scenes efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, CNN reported.
Bob went on television to defend Trump, though she was not included in the legal filings Trump made in Florida, seeking to appoint a special master to review materials obtained during the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago investigation. Corcoran is a former Baltimore-based assistant U.S. attorney who has also represented Trump associate Steve Bannon.
On Monday, Trump added former Florida Solicitor General Chris Keyes to his legal team to represent him in the Mar-a-Lago investigation case. Kise will appear in court in Florida on Thursday along with the rest of Trump’s legal team in the former president’s bid to appoint a special master to review materials taken from Mar-a-Lago.

Access to the warehouse

Tuesday’s Justice Department filing included an account of the administration’s efforts to retrieve classified material from Mar-a-Lago that led to the August investigation — including several instances where members of Trump’s team were said to be part of an effort to obstruct government efforts.
In addition to the DOJ showing that Trump’s team did not comply with a subpoena to return all classified documents, the government’s filing focuses on the June 3 meeting between Trump’s legal team and federal investigators. In its account, the Justice Department describes the conduct of a Trump lawyer, who was not named in the brief but according to a letter included in the records was Corcoran, who “represented that all records that had come from the White House ” at Mar-a-Lago was kept in the resort’s warehouse, according to the filing. “Counsel further argued that there were no other records stored in any private office space or other location on the premises and that all available boxes were searched,” the DOJ said. Through the DOJ and FBI officials who visited that day and were allowed into the warehouse, “the former President’s counsel expressly prohibited government personnel from opening or looking inside any of the boxes that remained in the warehouse without giving permission. opportunity for the government to confirm that no classified documents remain.” Upon further investigation, the government “developed evidence that a search limited to the Storage Facility would not have uncovered all of the classified documents at the facility.” “The government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Vault and that efforts were likely made to obstruct the government’s investigation,” the DOJ wrote. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins contributed to this report.
