(soft music) it s the top of the hour on cnn newsroom. i m alisyn camerota. i m victor blackwell. a just released letter from the national archives reveals more than 700 pages of classified documents were retrieved from former president trump s home in january. and that collection set off the chain of events that led to the fbi s search of mar-a-lago this month. this letter, first disclosed on a web site of a trump ally lays out the deferential treatment given to former president after the discovery. it describes how the fbi waited more than a month to look into those boxes to assess the damage. that delay was to allow the trump team to review whether to claim executive privilege. the letter was made public just hours after trump s lawyers filed its first court response to the fbi finding all of those classified documents in his home. they re seeking a third party, also known as a special master now to
