Then-President Donald Trump left the White House for Florida ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. According to the General Services Administration, members of Trump’s transition team were responsible for packing items into boxes, putting boxes on pallets and shrink-wrapping those pallets so they could be transported.

After NARA realized that documents from Trump’s presidency seemed to be missing from the material that it received as he left office, the agency requested the records from Trump on or about May 6, 2021, according to a heavily redacted affidavit made public last week.
NARA “continued to make requests” for records it believed to be missing for several months, according to the affidavit. Around late December 2021, a Trump representative informed the agency that an additional 12 boxes of records that should have been turned over had been found at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago club and residence and were ready t...
NARA received 15 boxes of presidential records that had been stored at Mar-a-Lago — 14 of which, it would later be revealed, contained classified documents. The documents were found mixed in with an assortment of other material, including newspapers, magazines, photos and personal correspondence. In total, the boxes were found to contain 184 docume...
The special agent in charge of NARA’s Office of the Inspector General sent a referral to the Justice Department via email after a preliminary review of the boxes revealed numerous classified documents. “Of most significant concern,” they wrote, according to a heavily-redacted affidavit released last week, “was that highly classified records were un...
Trump’s Save America PAC released a statement insisting the return of the documents had been as “routine” and “no big deal.” Trump insisted the “papers were given easily and without conflict and on a very friendly basis,” and added, “It was a great honor to work with NARA to help formally preserve the Trump Legacy.”
NARA revealed in a letter to a congressional oversight committee that classified information was found in the 15 recovered boxes and confirmed the Justice Department referral. Trump’s Save America PAC released another statement insisting, “The National Archives did not ‘find’ anything,” but “were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordi...
NARA informed Trump of its intent to provide the documents to the FBI, at the request of the Justice Department. A Trump representative requested an extension until April 29.
The Justice Department sent a letter to Trump’s lawyers seeking immediate access to the material, “citing “important national security interest.” “Access to the materials is not only necessary for purposes of our ongoing criminal investigation, but the Executive Branch must also conduct an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the appar...
NARA informed Trump’s lawyers that it would provide the FBI access to the records as soon as May 12.
