New evidence suggests possible Trump obstruction in Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Investigators with the Justice Department and FBI believe that Donald Trump may have obstructed the investigation into his documents after receiving a subpoena in May, as evidence suggests he may have looked through boxes of documents in his Mar-a-Lago home to decide what he wanted to keep. This discovery highlights the difference between his investigation and the probe into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, which were found in his office and home. Trump claimed that the justice system was being skewed against him, while Biden's team immediately notified the government and turned over improperly stored classified documents.
