Secret files at Donald Trump’s home “Likely Concealed” to block FBI probe

Date:

Washington:Top secret documents found at Donald Trump’s Florida home were “likely concealed” to obstruct an FBI probe into the former US president’s potential mishandling of classified materials, the Department of Justice said in an explosive new court filing.

The filing released late Tuesday provides the most detailed account yet of a year-and-a-half-long effort to recover hundreds of classified documents that were improperly taken to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate when he left office in January 2021.

And the claim of obstruction piles further legal pressure on the Republican ex-president who denies all wrongdoing and has denounced an unprecedented FBI raid on his palatial home this month as part of a “witchhunt.”

Trump’s legal team responded Wednesday with a filing that described the government’s pursuit of the documents as “unjustified,” said the former president’s possession of sensitive information “should have never been cause for alarm,” and described the raid as “unprecedented, unnecessary, and legally unsupported.”
