Breaking news: Justice Department asks judge to hold Trump team in contempt over Mar-a-Lago documents case. The request came after months of mounting frustration from the Justice Department with the former president’s lawyers.

In recent days, Justice Department lawyers have asked U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell to hold Trump’s office in contempt, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sealed court proceedings. But the judge has not yet held a hearing or ruled on the request, they said.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said the former president’s lawyers “continue to cooperative and transparent.” He added: “This is a political witch hunt unlike anything like this country has ever seen.”Trump’s team has searched a number of his other properties in recent weeks, in response to the DOJ concerns and instructions from the judge, and. Trump’s advisers told the FBI the items were found in a storage facility used by the former president in West Palm Beach, Fla.

In June, Bobb signed an attestation that a diligent search had been conducted for any such material, but the FBI collected convincing evidence that was not the case. The government got a court-authorized search warrant in August which turned up 103 more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago that had not been turned over in response to the subpoena.

Prosecutors have said in court filings that after Trump’s lawyers received the May subpoena, they asked for additional time to comply with it before agreeing to meet on June 3 to turn over records. The night before the scheduled meeting, Bobb — a lawyer and former One America News host —

karolcummins Lawyers needing lawyers needing lawyers? Lmao 🤣

Enough is enough. Leave President Trump alone. And go after some real criminals. Like the Bidens

More looney hate fake news from leading fake news?

bonchieredstate This is what they’re working on.

Same old photos of the first raid.

Maybe this trumpian hell does have an exit door after all

Indictments, please.

Ok, and then what happens?

This admin will continue forever unless republicans stop it!

“Some of Trump’s lawyers are also wary of making any claim under oath based on Trump’s word alone, two people familiar with the matter said”. I wonder why?

Weak

The government knows what top secret documents are missing. These are numbered & have matching folders. They found empty top secret folders with labels.

Did ppl forget that trmp did this the first time. 'Oh yeah, here is some stuff that must have gotten mixed up with my stuff', signs off on it and a whstlblwr says go here and look. Now 'they find 'a couple' of items? Don't fall for that ruse. They are fucking w/DOJ, daring them.

Donald J Trump is the custodian of the top secret records. He always has been & without a security clearance & previous continual custody of said records, none of his team can become custodian.

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Makes sense, indeed.

Gifted

His lawyers are about to earn their money. Then of course Trump will blame them and discard them like trash. Like he always does.

Arrest them

And his spokesperson (quoting Trump) called this part of the “political witch hunt.” Sure seems like a whole bunch of pointy hats with this guy.

Now you see why they leaked the search results yesterday.

This guy doesn't look as if he plays games. When he strikes, it will stick. He probably had a phone call with those lawyers and that is why they went back to search.

There IS NO THREAD. stop labeling that there is !

I hold Trump in the greatest contempt.

'One of the key areas of disagreement centers on the Trump legal team’s repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, according to two of these people.'

Take off the kid gloves and put these criminals where they belong

Seems like this thing is spinning up fast with the new man in charge.

Shocked. Not. Why do you lot not just do your job which , in case you have forgotten , is to hold those in power to account?

_coldbrewScorp6 Trump, team? Seems like it should just be Trump.

What's this even mean

The finding out portion of our story escalated quickly.

Weeee pretty please.. We dont dare arrest him.

The cross is being wheeled out in South Florida tonight, upon which TFG shall nail himself to. And so the victimhood commence..

This is how it’s done. Stop being so accommodating for Trump.

Great!

Hell, I already hold him in contempt and I voted for him twice.
