The government suspects there's still more documents left at Mar-a-Lago that they want. They're not getting them back, so they issue a subpoena. And what do they find in that surveillance video? So they see something that alarms them. The footage was for a 60-day period. It shows, again, this outer area outside this room where there's a lot of traffic. There are a lot of people coming in and out. At minimum, Michael, that is what the surveillance video is revealing. And that's what they're concerned about.
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.
