This is Michael Popok, legal layoff. We got some breaking news coming out of the guardian and

their investigative reporting about Mara Lago as Jack Smith reaches his final recommendations

to indict Donald Trump related to the stolen and mishandled national security information top

secret classified documents at Mara Lago. What's the new information? That's what this hot

take is about. Evan Corcoran has told the grand jury and prosecutors, according to at least two

sources, and told his own associates that he was misled about the location of documents,

classified national security matters, materials at Mara Lago by those closest to Donald Trump himself

and that Donald Trump never told Evan Corcoran or disabused them of the notion that the only

location for those documents was just in one storage room. When there was another 100 that were

sitting just inside of Donald Trump's office and desk, but Evan Corcoran never searched those

areas. He was, he was told not to search those areas. He was told that all the information,

all of the of the retained improperly retained documents for the White House were sitting in one

location, but that was a lie. So now you have the department of justice trying to get to the

bottom of why were there boxes being moved by Walt Nauda, Donald Trump's personal valet after

the subpoena was issued and while they were responding to it, this is even before the search warrant

the subpoena, which is a demand under under penalties of a perjury and contempt of you failed to

respond is issued by lawyers under the auspices of a federal judge and requires the documents

be turned over pursuant to that subpoena. If not, then there's a court process for contempt. If

that doesn't work, you go in and you get a search warrant, which is what they did. So you've got a

June subpoena and an August search warrant against Donald Trump. Why the Department of Justice

wants to know why did Donald Trump give the instructions for Walt Nauda to move boxes in and out

of the storage room, that same room that they directed Evan Corcoran to look to look for documents.
