When his administration made false claims about the size of the crowd at his inauguration, Trump was obsessed with crowd size.

According to testimony by a former White House aide, in the final days of his presidency, Trump demanded that security allow armed spectators through the metal detectors at his speeches because he was concerned about the size of the crowd.

Trump was concerned about the TV cameras' shot of the area not being filled with people, according to Hutchinson.

On August 8th, the FBI executed a search warrant on Trump's home in search of classified documents.

The feds are investigating whether Trump broke three federal laws related to the handling of classified information, including the Espionage Act, after Trump and the Department of Justice agreed to unseal documents related to the search.
