The New York Times reported that a Trump aide was caught on camera moving boxes out of a storage room in Mar-a-Lago. The security footage was not viewed by The Times or Insider.
The Times spoke to three people who said that a long-time Trump staffer was seen on Mar-a-Lago's security footage moving boxes out of a storage room. The NYT's sources say that this happened before and after the Department of Justice subpoenaed Trump.
There has been a lot of speculation about what was in the storage room before the DOJ searched the property. The Washington Post reported that Trump ordered employees to move boxes of White House documents from the storage room. The boxes were taken from the storage area after the DOJ subpoenaed the former president's advisers.
One of The Times' sources said that the FBI interviewed the woman before it raided Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI took 11,000 documents from Mar-a-Lago, including some that were marked "ClassIFIED," after the raid. Some of the documents the FBI found were so sensitive that investigators needed more information. The Washington Post reported that there was classified information on a foreign country's nuclear defense.
The Espionage Act is one of the laws being investigated by the DOJ. In an August court filing, the Justice Department said it had evidence that government records were likely hidden and removed from the storage room at Mar-a-Lago.
Stanley Woodward Jr. wouldn't comment on the reports. The Times was told that the Biden administration was "colluding with the media through targeted leaks in an overt and illegal act of intimidation and tampering."
Insider did not get a response from Budowich and Woodward Jr.
