According to a letter released by the Archives on Tuesday, the National Archives recovered over 700 pages of classified documents from Donald Trump's Florida mansion.

The materials recovered from Mar-a-Lago did not include any of the records obtained in June and August, according to reports.

In a letter dated May 10, the U.S. Archivist warned Evan Cocoran of the growing concern within the Justice Department regarding the documents. She said that the missing presidential records had been discussed with Trump representatives before the January search.

The 15 boxes of recovered materials would be handed over to the FBI to investigate whether or not they were handled in an improper manner, according to the letter. She noted that her group gave Trump's team time to review the materials after they were told about the plan to turn them into the FBI.

After consulting with the Department of Justice, Stevie Wall refused to delay FBI involvement so the former president could decide whether to assert executive privilege over the documents. You can read more at The New York Times.
