Officials from the Department of Justice (DOJ) claim that former President Trump may still illegally be in possession of classified documents.
DOJ counterintelligence and export control chief Jay Bratt said in a communication with Trump’s legal team that the agency continues to have concerns about whether all of the government documents have been returned since the former president’s exit from the White House, according to The New York Times.

The National Archives and Records Administration made claims to Congress in September concerning Trump-related documents, saying that it is not in possession of all necessary presidential records and that there is “no easy way to establish absolute accountability” for their return.
“The weaponized Department of Justice and the politicized F.B.I. are spending millions and millions of American tax dollars to perpetuate witch hunt after witch hunt,” said Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich in response to inquiries about the missing records.

I’ll bet a number of those documents have been sold or transferred to our enemies.
