Trump Indictment, more

56. On May 23,TRUMP also confirmed his understanding with Trump Attorney 1 that Trump Attorney 1 would return to The Mar-a-Lago Club on June 2 to search for any documents with classification markings to produce in response to the May 11 Subpoena. Trump Attorney 1 made it clear to TRUMP that Trump Attorney 1 would conduct the search for responsive documents by looking through TRUMP's boxes that had been transported from the White House and remained in storage at The Mar-a-Lago Club. TRUMP indicated that he wanted to be at The Mar-a-Lago Club when Trump Attorney 1 returned to review his boxes on June 2, and that TRUMP would change his summer travel plans to do so. TRUMP told Trump Attorney 2 that Trump Attorney 2 did not need to be present for the review of boxes.

["Trump Attorney 1 [Evan Corcoran] made it clear...": Prior, Trump had made it clear that he wanted no one, not even one of his attorneys going though "my boxes." Corcoran "made it clear" that he would.

[Props to Maggie Haberman for first noticing that Trump left for Bedminster later than he usually did. That is confirmed here: "TRUMP would change his summer travel plans" to be present for Corcoran's search. "Trump told Trump Attorney 2 that TA2 did not need to be present." I read that, perhaps mistakenly, as Trump trying to limit the number of witnesses who would testify to additional classified materials being found.]
