According to the New York Times correspondent, Donald Trump is aware of the legal issues he could be facing in the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.
The author of the book on the former president, "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Break of America", has covered Trump for many years. The book covers many legal issues that Trump has faced over the years.
The Justice Department believes that Trump has more classified documents than the ones they seized from Mar-a-Lago. In exchange for documents about the FBI investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia, Trump said he would give over the materials he kept, according to Saturday's report.
During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, she was asked if she thought Trump understood the legal jeopardy he was in.
He understands how much legal jeopardy he is in. He convinced himself that it was not that bad. He spent $3 million on a retainer for a lawyer who has sometimes not listened to and he was willing to do that.
People who worked for Trump in the 1990's reached out to me to say that the biggest legal retainer he had ever paid was this one. She thinks that speaks to how worried he is.

The New York Times reported that Trump paid a hefty retainer fee to the former solicitor general of Florida. The Times reported that Trump paid the lawyer $3 million.
The representative for Trump didn't reply immediately.
At times, Trump has claimed that the materials at Mar-a-Lago had been classified and that they may have been planted. When a president leaves office, presidential documents are to be managed by the National Archives and Records Administration, regardless of whether they are classified or not.
