The FBI in August seized documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Trump sued to challenge the seizure, but later lost. The Justice Department’s investigation into Trump’s possession of the classified documents continues.
Trump has argued that he had the right to have those documents and challenged the Justice Department’s seizure of them. Those challenges failed.
A special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland is investigating whether Trump broke any laws by possessing the documents and whether anyone obstructed their return to the government. Garland has also appointed a special counsel to investigate whether anyone wrongly handled classified documents found in President Joe Biden’s Delaware home and in a Washington, D.C., office he occupied after his vice presidency.
Some details about Trump’s documents remain unknown, including the exact contents of each document. But recent information released by the federal government details how many documents were at Mar-a-Lago and their classification level. Here’s a timeline of the events concerning Trump documents. We will update this timeline as news developments warrant.Donald Trump speaks to crowd before boarding Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, Jan. 20, 2021.
