“A central question involving the records former President Donald Trump stored at his Mar-a-Lago home is why he was keeping reams of government documents and classified material,” NBC News reports.
“The criminal investigation now underway has elicited few answers so far. A lawyer for Trump ‘offered no explanation as to why boxes of government records’ were being kept at the former president’s estate, the Department of Justice wrote in a court filing last week. But Trump himself invoked something that advisers say rarely comes up: his library.”
However, as Axios reports, Trump was required to return all documents marked as classified as part of a grand jury subpoena issued in May, regardless of whether or not the former president believed he’d declassified the documents.
