Trump responds in court to blockbuster DOJ filing about Mar-a-Lago investigation

Former President Donald Trump has formally responded in court to the Justice Department’s filing on Tuesday night, which revealed new details about the Mar-a-Lago investigation. Trump’s lawyers argued in their court filing Wednesday night that the National Archives should have expected to find classified material among the 15 boxes Trump turned over in January because they were presidential records. They also argue the Justice Department “significantly mischaracterized” a June 3 visit by DOJ and FBI officials at Mar-a-Lago. And there are other claims in the court filing.

Perspective from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Josh Campbell, Sara Murray and CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Shan Wu, who is a defense attorney and former federal prosecutor.
