[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Philbin were Mr. Trump’s representatives to deal with the National Archives; they were named to the positions shortly before the president’s term ended, in January 2021. At some point after National Archives officials realized they did not have Trump White House documents, which are required to be preserved under the Presidential Records Act, they contacted Mr. Philbin for help returning them.

A spokesperson for Mr. Philbin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

[b]Mr. Philbin tried to help the National Archives retrieve the material, two of the people familiar with the discussions said. But the former president repeatedly resisted entreaties from his advisers[/b].

[b]“It’s not theirs, it’s mine,”[/b] several advisers say Mr. Trump told them.

The former president returned 15 boxes of material to the National Archives in January, but the Justice Department issued a subpoena in May for documents that were still at his residence. [b]On June 3, counterintelligence officials with the Justice Department’s national security division went to Mar-a-Lago to collect remaining documents with classified markings.[/b]

At that point, at least one Trump lawyer signed a statement saying material with the classified markings had been returned, according to four people familiar with the document. But [b]officials then used a subpoena to obtain surveillance footage[/b] of the hallway outside a storage room at Mar-a-Lago and [b]saw something that alarmed them[/b]. They also received information from at least one witness who indicated that [b]more material might remain at the residence[/b], people familiar with the investigation said.[/quote]

F*n scary stuff, that ^.

Here's Trump take on handling of classified material, just in case Trump apologists missed it:

Just a side note, but he really aged a lot during his time as POTUS.  Surprising since he spent so much of his time golfing and watching tv. [/quote]
