JUST IN: Unsealed filing in Trump Florida case says there were two rounds of classified documents discovered at Mar-a-Lago *after* the FBI search. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Judge HOWELL also found last year that prosecutors provided sufficient evidence that Trump sought to hide classified documents from prosceutors. It was part of her ruling granting crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This entire opinion from Judge Howell assessing the evidence prosecutors presented on Trump's "willful retention" of classified docs and efforts to obstruct the probe is extraordinary.

She described Nauta as "dissembling" in his FBI interview as well.

For example, Howell can't fathom how Trump missed the four classified docs in his own bedroom that his lawyer found in December 2022. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Attorney found four classified documents in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bedroom in December 2022 — four months after the FBI search, newly unsealed court documents shows.

MORE: A witness connected to Trump’s Save America PAC scanned and stored documents from the box containing those materials on a laptop provided by the PAC, per Howell’s opinion. politico.com/news/2024/05/2…
Image
NOTABLE: Howell’s opinion was actually unsealed because Trump’s lawyers appended it to their claim of prosecutorial misconduct — citing this footnote in which Howell quotes a procedural text. politico.com/news/2024/05/2…

JUST IN: Chief Judge Boasberg has *denied* Walt Nauta’s request to transfer some grand jury materials from DC to Florida, says Nauta failed to make specific case.

It is unfathomable that Martin was unaware of the widely publicized allegations about Hale-Cusanelli, who he has interviewed for hours and whose case made national headlines for years after Jan.6.

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador...

which is the lawful process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Joseph Mazzara, ICE's general counsel, filed this update with the court. He also is present in court today.
Abrego Garcia's lawyers say there's no evidence the Trump administration has done anything to comply with the order to facilitate his return from El Salvador. They want depositions, interrogatories and documents.
