Me thinks the Feds think ‘The Donald’ has MORE Government files squired away…..
Anybody still think the ex-President is NOT gonna get indicted on this matter?
A federal judge has ordered lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump to give the government the names of the private investigators who searched Mr. Trump’s properties late last year for any remaining classified documents, part of what appeared to be a step by the Justice Department toward questioning the investigators about their efforts, two people familiar with the matter said.
The order, issued on Wednesday by Beryl A. Howell, the chief judge of the Federal District Court in Washington, was the latest twist in a monthslong dispute between prosecutors and Mr. Trump’s lawyers about how forthcoming the former president has been in returning classified material that he removed from the White House after he left office. Hundreds of classified documents were later recovered by the government from Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club and residence in Florida.
The fact that the Justice Department sought a formal order for the investigators’ names suggests an increasing breakdown in trust between prosecutors investigating the documents case and Mr. Trump’s legal team. And the request comes as a special counsel has taken over the inquiry into whether Mr. Trump willfully retained sensitive records or obstructed the government’s efforts to retrieve them.
The New York Times reported in October that a top Justice Department official had told Mr. Trump’s legal team that the department believed the former president still had classified documents in his possession even after the F.B.I. conducted a search of Mar-a-Lago in August and hauled away more than 20 boxes of materials, including about 100 documents marked as classified….
Note….
More than. once the ex-President has siad outloud the files ARE ‘his’ files…..
And?
Could this also mean that the Feds maybe going after the lawyer’s for not being truthful?
