| 0:00.0 | Good evening, the Ombuds 2 months since the FBI executed a lawful court approved search |
| 0:05.2 | of Mar-a-Lago, which yielded more than 100 documents marked as classified that do not |
| 0:09.4 | belong to him, the former president has taken nearly every step possible to slow the |
| 0:13.4 | legal process surrounding them, everything short of taking his case to the Supreme Court, |
