[quote=Anonymous]“Mr. Corcoran was misled by his client (Trump), who left the lawyer with a ‘blinkered’ view about where remaining boxes of documents were stored.

The government has sufficiently demonstrated all three elements of one of the obstruction statutes by providing evidence that the former president intentionally concealed the existence of additional documents bearing classification markings from Corcoran, knowing that such deception would result in Corcoran providing an unknowingly false representation to the government, the judge wrote in the 86-page memorandum, according to a person briefed on its contents.

At one point, according to the notes, Mr. Trump expressed concern about Mr. Corcoran sorting through the materials in the boxes he had taken from the White House, even though he had brought Mr. Corcoran on specifically to handle the Justice Department’s efforts to recover all material Mr. Trump may still have had.

‘[i]I don’t want anybody looking through my boxes, I really don’t,’ the notes quote Mr. Trump as saying. ‘I don’t want you looking through my boxes.[/i]’

In one of the most damning passages of the notes, Mr. Corcoran describes how Mr. Trump made a ‘plucking motion’ after he had placed about 40 secret documents in a folder in preparation for handing them over to federal prosecutors in compliance with a subpoena that had demanded the return of all classified documents in Mr. Trump’s possession.

In his notes, Mr. Corcoran said the gesture made him think that Mr. Trump was suggesting that he should take the folder to his ‘[i]hotel room and if there’s anything really bad in there, like, you know, pluck it out.[/i]’

In another revealing exchange about what Mr. Trump hoped to communicate to his lawyer about what the former president expected from him, Mr. Trump spoke admiringly about an unnamed lawyer for Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state. Mr. Trump claimed that the lawyer had taken responsibility for deleting emails from her private server for her, an issue that prompted an F.B.I. investigation into her handling of government material:”

‘[i]He was great, he did a great job,’ Mr. Trump said, according to Mr. Corcoran’s retelling in the indictment. ‘He said that it — that it was him. That he was the one who deleted all of her emails, the 30,000 emails, because they basically dealt with her scheduling and her going to the gym and her having beauty appointments. And he was great. And he, so she didn’t get in any trouble because he said that he was the one who deleted them.[/i]’
