Federal authorities are reportedly seeking Mar-a-Lago security footage after recovering more than 300 classified documents from former President Donald Trump.
's Erin Burnett last week that the footage would have already been released if he had wanted it to be public.
Former President Donald Trump is pictured at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, on July 31, 2022. The Department of Justice is reportedly seeking security camera footage of Mar-a-Lago taken in the weeks leading up to the August 8 raid of Trump's residence, while the former president is considering releasing tapes taken during the raid itself.
Additional footage is being sought because DOJ investigators are not certain that they have recovered all classified materials that Trump may have taken while leaving the White House in January 2021. Federal agents took 26 boxes with them after searching Trump's residence, including 11 boxes that contained documents marked classified or"." Trump has argued that he had a"standing order" to declassify all documents that he took just before leaving office.
However, no other evidence of Trump's order has been presented and some of the documents reportedly included nuclear secrets, which presidents do not have the power to unilaterally declassify. In addition, the three federal laws cited in the search warrant—which include the Espionage Act—do not necessarily depend on the classified status of the documents.
