Special counsel Jack Smith has also uncovered several instances of obstructive conduct, including perceived efforts to conceal documents, report says.
Investigators say two employees of former President Donald Trump moved boxes of records at Mar-a-Lago into a storage area just one day before a scheduled visit from the FBI and a federal prosecutor.
On June 2, the same day the boxes were moved, Trump’s lawyer contacted the Justice Department, saying officials were welcomed to Mar-a-Lago to pick up the documents. Agents were given 38 classified documents the next day when they showed up but were not given permission to open any boxes in storage, the report says.After the FBI secured a court order to search Mar-a-Lago in August, they conducted an unannounced search where they found more than 100 additional classified documents.
Additionally, special counsel Jack Smith has also uncovered several instances of obstructive conduct, including perceived efforts to conceal those top-secret documents, the report states.

Fearing indictment is imminent in classified docs probe, Trump team requests meeting with DOJFormer President Donald Trump's legal team has formally requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland, amid fears from his attorneys that the coming weeks could bring a possible indictment of Trump regarding his alleged efforts to retain materials after leaving office and to obstruct the government's attempts to retrieve them. The letter, though thin on details, was sent so Trump's lawyers could present arguments that Trump should not be charged in the investigation related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. The letter asks Garland for a meeting at his earliest convenience to discuss what the attorneys describe as the 'ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated' by special counsel Jack Smith and says that no president has been 'baselessly investigated' in such an 'unlawful fashion.'
