“Trump resisted handing over some of the boxes for months”
Consider this a follow-up to the story Ed wrote earlier about the FBI’s decision to exercise a search warrant at former President Trump’s home Monday. Both Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz have suggested that the search seems a bit over the top if this really is about Trump taking material covered by the Presidential Records Act. That’s what several news outlets (Fox News, CBS News, NY Times) reported last night but I’ve spent most of the day arguing with people on Twitter who seem eager to ignore those early reports.
This evening the has published a story which confirms in greater detail that this search warrant definitely was a follow up to 15 boxes of material that Trump turned over back in February.
The Post points to this CNN story published earlier today which reveals that investigators visited Mar-a-Lago in June:
And jumping back to the Post, during the raid yesterday the FBI cut off the padlock they’d recommended for the storage room and wound up removing about 12 boxes of documents.
