reid. we begin with more on the search at donald trump s mar-a-lago home. while trump and his allies have been raging the fbi and the justice department have remained conspicuously quiet. here s what we have learned. according to authority the federal authorities drew increasingly concerned that the man, i don t know, known for skirting the law for the last 40 years and his lawyers, have not returned all of the classified material that he carted off with him when he went scurrying down to florida after being booted out of office by joe biden. i a cording to the washington post officials, quote, blame, suspicious became suspicious that when trump gave 15 boxes of items to the national archives about seven months ago, either the former president or people close to him held on to key records. trump attorney christina bobb, the former oan reporter who helped spearhead the recount said trump s legal teams were in discussions with the justice department this spring about record
he stated he pled the fifth under the advice of counsel declining to answer the questions. this striking legal development, which we ll get into comes just two days after august 8, 2022 when the fbi searched a former president s home. both developments show the depths of donald trump s legal problems. neither means that he is in a legal sense guilty of anything to be precise. both mean that the concerns about donald trump s guilt about law breaking, about criminal evidence and criminal activity stretch from the highest levels of the doj to a separate new york probe to inside donald trump s mind. only he can make the decision that he made today. and let me tell it to you in plain english, it s a right he can exercise, but he made the decision, donald trump did that he faces a higher risk by testifying truthfully in the new york probe, which he chose not to do than by pleading the fifth, which he chose to do. it is a legal but a controversial move, which he has probably derided
