The Department of Justice has reported that they have found evidence that they could have tried to eliminate or hide classified documents in the framework of the search in the mansion of former US President Donald Trump, in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
“The government also has evidence that the records were likely hidden and removed from the storage room and that steps were taken to obstruct the investigation,” Justice Department counterintelligence officer Jay Bratt said in a statement. 36 pages.
The Department of Justice has also released an image in which a series of documents can be seen scattered on the carpet, some having White House letterhead and stamps labeled ‘top secret’, according to Bloomberg.
In this way, the US Justice has claimed to have serious doubts about the information coming from Trump’s close circle, especially after a representative of the former president reported on the alleged delivery of classified documentation.
The fact that so many documents were found in the mansion “casts serious doubt” on the Trump team’s claim that there was “a diligent search” for documents, as reported by NBC News.
On August 8, a group of FBI agents broke into the luxurious mansion of former President Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, taking around twenty boxes full of folders with classified documentation.
The FBI operation was motivated by Trump’s possible violations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires all White House tenants to return presidential documents once they leave office.
