Takeaways from the Affidavit Used to Support Trump's Search
Summary by NewsWall Apr 24 23
- More materials were provided over by Mr. Trump's advisors in June.
- However, the Justice Department was questioning witnesses in the case and concluded that Mr. Trump was in possession of further classified materials.
- The search yielded a cache of very sensitive documents.
- There were highly classified documents among the materials.
- The affidavit did not reveal the substance of any of the documents or the subject matter they addressed, and the Justice Department has not addressed the risk to national security if any of the records fell into the hands of competing nations.
