Trump aides allegedly "kept quiet" about a trip to Mar-a-Lago Donald Trump took just weeks before FBI agents searched the property for classified materials in his possession
Those actions raised suspicions among special counsel Jack Smith's team as potential additional efforts to obstruct the government's classified documents investigation, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The previously unreported visit, which allegedly took place July 10-12 in the summer of 2022,
was raised in several interviews with witnesses, as investigators sought to determine whether it was š¹part of Trump's broader effort to withhold the documents after receiving a subpoena demanding their return.š¹
At least one witness who worked closely with the former president recalled being told at the time of the trip that Trump was there šø"checking on the boxes," šø
according to sources familiar with what the witness told investigators.
