and what this has brought to light is that there is a perhaps an overclassification of documents, perhaps people don t deal with classified documents as gingerly and carefully as they should, all of the above. but this is, again, something that we talked about so many times, anderson, is we re so focused on this for one big reason and that is because what we saw in mar-a-lago. and the difference is what we saw in mar-a-lago was not the kind of search that andrew just described. it was a search that was done only after a search warrant, only after lots of foot dragging. and so that is the big political reason why this has so much attention. do you think, john, that the doj would ask president biden to sit down for an interview at this stage? not at this stage. i mean if you re in a criminal investigation, the person who s
justin rowlatt, bbc news, egypt. rachel kyte is dean of the fletcher school at tufts university. she is a former senior un official working on climate change. shejoins us now from sharm el sheikh. thank you for being on the programme. so much at stake in the un secretary general antonio guterres saying there is complacency, there is too much foot dragging. what are your hopes for what could be achieved this week? i your hopes for what could be achieved this week?- your hopes for what could be achieved this week? i think it will be incremental achieved this week? i think it will be incremental progress, not our big breakthrough. you heard a lot sharma saint countries have a lot on their plate this year. we spent most of the weekend negotiating the agenda, agreeing what would be negotiated and it was a very tense. on one side you had countries like antigua and barbuda representing small

former cross fit lawyer said trump handed over all those documents. she signed a statement affirming, yes, that is it. nothing else to see here, folks. but even after that june visit, even after trump s attorneys swore there were no more classified documents at mar-a-lago, double pinky swear, the justice department wasn t convinced. on august 8th, the fbi executed a search warrant where they found, you guessed it, more documents at mar-a-lago marked top secret. the new york times reported late last night that, in fact, federal agents in total have now retrieved over 300 classified documents, hundreds and hundreds of pages of classified material from mar-a-lago. that record of foot dragging and false statements is apparently donald trump s definition of complete cooperation. and we have breaking news tonight about that supposed cooperation. the washington post reports what happened when archives first received the documents in
