Trumps tries to swap stolen documents for info he wants; FBI investigates Trump Tower and Bedminster

 



In two related stories, we now know that former president Donald Trump tried to strike a "deal" with the National Archives, "to return boxes" of government documents he had stolen when he left the White House in exchange for information about the Trump-Russia criminal investigation. As my friend Joyce Vance said today on MSNBC, that "sounds a little extortion-y." And this video discusses a real-world example of why Trump's conduct is, indeed, a little extortion-y. In a related story, Rolling Stone reports that FBI agents have been interviewing witnesses about whether Trump was also keeping sensitive government documents at his Trump Tower, NY, and Bedminster, NJ, properties. Folks often ask why the FBI didn't search those properties at the same time they searched Trump's Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. The answer can be found in the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, as this vide discusses.
