let s start with the twice-impeached pathologically duplicitous former president on the truth social platform that his passports were seized by the fbi. there s one caveat to that, nbc has not independently claimed if it is true and it could be a significant detail in what s become a stream of revelations. the washington post out with new details on the early stages of the probe when officials at the national archives suggested that trump had documents in his possession even after they retrieved 15 boxes from mar-a-lago. at first archives officials believed that the fbi wasn t taking the documents issued seriously and they grew frustrated according to people familiar with the document dispute and agents interviewed trump s current and former advisors asking what material was in them and who was responsible for the packing and what might still be at the florida club according to a person who was questioned, quote, they interviewed almost everyone who worked for him, a trump
team now filing a response to that fbi search for all of those boxes of classified material in his florida home two weeks ago. we ll start with the fbi seizure of classified documents at mar-a-lago. the former president wants a neutral third party called a special master to review the documents taken by the fbi and return anything not within the scope of the search warrant. we re also getting new information about how much sensitive data was at mar-a-lago and the concern at the national archives months ago, which set off this entire investigation. all right, so, let s get to cnn s senior crime and justice reporter, kaitlan. we know in january, the national archives retrieved 15 boxes of material from mar-a-lago, and we are learning, thanks thao the reporting, about exactly how much classified info was in those boxes. one of the things we re learning now is because the national archives is making public a letter back in may that fills out our timeline a little bit more,
