“In the end,” CNN reveals, “it may have been a threat that ended the impasse. At one point, the Archives notified a member of Trump’s team that it planned to alert Congress and the Department of Justice of the matter if it wasn’t quickly resolved, according to a person familiar with the warning. According to a person familiar with the matter, the Archives have since asked the Justice Department to investigate. It is unclear whether the Justice Department has started an investigation.”
Also startling, CNN reports “a top official in the former President’s orbit warned his aides last fall: Do not touch those boxes” that “were being stored at the time in Trump’s personal suite at his Florida” Mar-a-Lago club.
“The senior official in Trump’s inner circle did not want to risk exposing sensitive materials to aides who may have lacked the appropriate security clearances,” apparently meaning classified documents were sitting, at least somewhat accessible, in Trump’s rooms.
