FBI says Trump docs likely moved in effort to obstruct probe
Al JazeeraThe revelation, made in court filings, raises possibility of new criminal implications following Mar-a-Lago raid. The United States Department of Justice has said it has evidence that classified documents were deliberately concealed from federal investigators at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and that “efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation”. The revelation, made in a court filing late on Tuesday, is the latest twist in the federal investigation of Trump’s removal of sensitive documents from the White House and follows an extraordinary raid of the former president’s property in August. However, FBI investigators said they later “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation”. A search warrant previously released by the FBI said Trump was being investigated for possibly violating three laws: a law banning the unauthorised removal or destruction of records from a federal office; a law prohibiting the falsification or destruction of records in a federal investigation; and the so-called Espionage Act, which bans “gathering, transmitting or losing” information related to defence with the intent the information could be used to harm US national security or interests.
