On Tuesday, a Trump lawyer said agents who brought the court-approved warrant to Mar-a-Lago a day earlier took about 12 more boxes after conducting their search.
People familiar with the investigation said Justice Department and FBI officials traveled to Mar-a-Lago this spring, a meeting first reported by CNN. Officials spoke with Trump representatives, inspected the storage space where the documents were kept and expressed concern that the former president or people close to him still had items that should be in government custody, said these people.
