Sources have indicated that the inquiry is still in its early stages.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated an investigation into the 15 boxes that former President Donald Trump removed from the White House and transported to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after he left office last year. Trump’s actions may have been illegal and in violation of federal law that dictates how presidential records should be handled. According to sources with knowledge of the boxes, some of the records contained sensitive and classified information, and had been given a “top secret” designation by the government. The investigation into the handling of the presidential documents is still in its early stages, sources told The Washington Post. It’s currently unclear whether interviews of people with knowledge of the transfer or who helped handle the moving of the documents have begun, or whether the DOJ has started looking into exactly what the boxes contained. Some Democrats in Congress have been critical of the Justice Department’s investigation so far — including House Oversight Committee chair Rep.
