Claire Tannes-Getter: What we're seeing is what looks like some level of not just resistance from the Trump world, but deception when it comes to these documents. She says there was an enormous amount of backstory here before they got to the point of executing a warrant. We often hear from listeners that these types of stories are what makes the daily special.
Last week, the F.B.I. took the extraordinary step of searching Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald J. Trump’s private club and Florida home. Their goal? To find materials he was thought to have improperly removed from the White House, including classified documents.
An inventory of the material taken from the search showed that agents seized 11 sets of documents with some type of confidential or secret marking on them.
We explore some of the latest developments in the case.
Guest: Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
