Last week, we talked about the efforts to get back 15 boxes of material in January of 2022. Since then, we have learned that there was a grand jury that was impeneled to investigate this and ultimately issuing a subpoena in May for these documents. Michael Wolraich: Let's turn to what we're learning about the lengths that the Department of Justice and the National Archives went before this FBI search to get these documents.
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.
