A new report from guardian provides more details on how one of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers was thwarted from locating classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to ensure their return to the federal government

It was revealed earlier in May that Trump had two employees move boxes from a storage locker to his office the day before the DOJ served out its subpoena in June of last year. Trump had aides carry out a “dress rehearsal” for moving documents on the property as well.

The DOJ also has evidence that Trump shared classified documents with other people, a violation of the Espionage Act. Corcoran has also told the grand jury that he had explained to Trump why the former president could not keep classified government documents after the subpoena was served.NARA has 16 pieces of evidence

showing that Trump and his aides were well-aware that he had not actually declassified documents, dismantling a key defense Trump has tested in public statements. With this latest development, it’s unclear which aides told Corcoran not to search Trump’s office, or whether the order came from Trump directly.
