…in the lead-up, to this search warrant that was executed at the former President’s primary residence, today, in Florida.
And this was a meeting that happened in early June, we are told, when a handful of investigators, went to Palm Beach, Florida. They met with several of the former President’s attorneys, while there.
[21:30:00]
We are told that during this meeting that the former President actually stopped by, and greeted these investigators, who were there, meeting with two of his attorneys, at Mar-a-Lago. He did not stay, we are told. He did not answer questions, according to sources, telling me that, and my colleague, Gabby Orr.
But then, after he left that - the two attorneys that were meeting, with these investigators, at Mar-a-Lago, then took them to a room that is in the basement of Mar-a-Lago, the property, there, and showed them where the boxes of documents that were taken, from Trump’s time, in the White House, were being stored.
We are told that these investigators looked around the room. Then they left.
And I am told by a person, who attended that meeting that, five days later, Trump’s attorneys got a letter, from one of those investigators, asking them to further secure the documents, in the room, where these documents were being stored.
I’m told it was locked. But they asked them to further enhance that security, essentially. And that led Trump’s aides to then put a padlock, on this door, where these documents were being stored. And that really just gives insight into the fact that there have been discussions, between investigators, and the former President’s attorneys, in the lead up to this search warrant being executed.
Now, of course, June 8th, that was two months ago today. … ***
