What’s Next in Criminal Probe Over Trump Documents

Wall Street Journal: “Investigators are now pursuing the next steps of the department’s criminal investigation into the handling of national security material and presidential records, a process that may take many months to play out, and will be shaped by several factors.”

“They include what specifically investigators find in the seized documents; why they ended up at Mar-a-Lago; who accessed them at the Florida resort; and the actions of Mr. Trump and his lawyers as the two sides negotiated for months in the spring for the return of the records.”

“While the investigation moves ahead inside the Justice Department, the political ramifications of the unprecedented search of a former president’s home last Monday are likely to reverberate in the public debate in Washington and beyond.”
