'Efforts Were Likely Taken' To Obstruct Probe

Fresno CA

Description

A 36-page brief, filed by the department’s head of counterintelligence Jay Bratt and the U.S. Attorney for South Florida Juan Gonazalez, stated that Trump’s people showed officials the storage room where they claimed the remaining documents were kept, but refused to let prosecutors see them. “The former president’s counsel explicitly prohibited government personnel from opening or looking inside any of the boxes that remained in the storage room, giving no opportunity for the government to confirm that no documents with classification markings remained,” Bratt and Gonzalez wrote. When officials reviewed the envelope, they found 38 different classified documents, including some marked “top secret” that contained the most sensitive type of information.
