Justice Department Suggests Trump Delayed Efforts To Recover Documents

The transcript discusses the Department of Justice's (DOJ) legal filing against appointing a special master in the investigation involving former President Trump. The DOJ argues that a special master is unnecessary and could hinder their investigation into classified documents found at Trump's Florida estate. The filing reveals that Trump's team allegedly misled the DOJ about the return of sensitive materials and obstructed the investigation. The documents in question are highly classified, and their exposure could compromise national security. Despite Trump's claims of declassification, the DOJ states no such privilege was claimed when the documents were produced. The intelligence community continues to assess potential risks from the improper storage of these materials.
