The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has said it has evidence that classified documents were deliberately concealed from federal investigators at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and that “efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation”.The revelation, made in a court filing late on Tuesday, is the latest twist in the federal investigation of Trump’s removal of sensitive documents from the White House and follows an extraordinary raid of the former president’s property in August.In the documents, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the investigative arm of the DOJ, said it had been told by Trump representatives in June that a “diligent search” of the Florida estate had turned up all sensitive material investigators suspected was being kept at the property. At the time, the Trump representatives gave the investigators an envelope containing 38 classified documents.
