records that were taken by the twice-impeached ex-president when he left office in january 2021. the new reporting also details team trump s months of resistance led by the ex-president himself to handing over records containing some of the country s most important and guarded national security secrets. it reveals that the search of trump s private resident was actually many months in the making and really just the latest chapter in a long, simmering investigation. here s what happened when the national archives got their hands on the first batch of documents from mar-a-lago back in january according to this new reporting in the washington post, quote, when archives employees began opening up and sifting the material they noticed an immediate problem. the boxes arrived without logs and inventories to describe their content according to a person familiar with the recovery. instead they contained a hodgepodge of documents including some that didn t come from trump s time in o
