to give the FBI access to the 15 boxes; in a third letter, sent on May 5, Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran appears to have requested that Trump’s team at least be allowed to review the materials themselves, to which NARA responded that Trump’s “designated representatives” could do so, “subject to obtaining the appropriate level of security clearance.”
On the other hand, the government not only references but also includes — in full — a May 25 letter from Corcoran to the head of DOJ’s counterespionage section, which it describes as “the second such letter.
Another explanation could be that the contents of the May 25 letter contrast with other information or evidence the FBI has collected during the investigation, and the FBI is using Corcoran’s argument — which it shorthands as “a President has absolute authority to declassify documents” — to highlight someone else’s knowledge or willfulness.
