Timeline of events leading to FBI search of Trump’s home

LA Times  

The FBI search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate sent reverberations across the country even before court papers were unsealed Friday showing agents recovered documents labeled “top secret” as they investigated potential violations of three laws, including one that governs defense information under the Espionage Act. Trump, for his part, says the National Archives were given the requested presidential records “in an ordinary and routine process.” Feb. 25: The House Committee on Oversight and Reform seeks additional documents from the National Archives as part of its investigation into Trump’s handling of White House records. Speaking during a previously scheduled visit to the FBI field office in in Omaha, Christopher Wray says the rhetoric targeting federal agents and the Justice Department is “deplorable and dangerous” and “violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.” Aug. 11: After days of public silence, Garland holds a brief news conference where he drops a major announcement: He will ask the court to unseal the search warrant, a striking and unusual step for a pending investigation. Aug. 12: Judge Reinhart unseals the warrant that authorized the FBI to search Mar-a-Lago, along with court papers showing that agents recovered documents labeled “top secret” among 11 sets of classified records.
