Lawyers found classified docs in Trump's bedroom 4 months after Mar-a-Lago search

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : Nauta was ultimately charged alongside Trump with attempting to obstruct government officials from reclaiming the classified documents.
41% : Howell also recounted in painstaking detail the battles between Smith's team and Trump over searches of his other properties and whether his attorneys had been attempting to frustrate the prosecutors' efforts to enforce their subpoena for the remaining classified records at Trump's home.
39% : That revelation was among several cited by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in a newly unsealed 2023 opinion that found prosecutors had presented compelling evidence that Trump knowingly stashed national security documents in his home and then tried to conceal them when the Justice Department tried to retrieve them.
36% : Cannon has a hearing scheduled in the case on Wednesday, though she recently signaled that the trial on the charges Trump is facing is unlikely to begin before late summer -- and possibly well beyond.
32% : In her 87-page opinion, Howell said the likelihood that Trump committed crimes was a basis to permit special counsel Jack Smith to question the former president's attorney Evan Corcoran on topics that would normally be shielded by attorney-client privilege.
31% : Howell's opinion was unsealed along with a large batch of other previously secret grand jury-related documents stemming from the investigation into Trump for withholding reams of classified documents after leaving office in 2021, including some of the nation's most sensitive military secrets.
27% : Prosecutors, Howell said, had demonstrated that Trump knew Corcoran had been tasked in June 2022 with informing the government that all classified materials had been returned, "a representation that the former president ... knew to be wrong.
26% : Notably, it was Trump who had used Howell's opinion -- despite its strong rebuke of his conduct -- to argue in support of an effort to dismiss the case against him over "prosecutorial misconduct."
