DoJ seeks to question Trump team that found more classified documents

Government recently persuaded judge to force Trump lawyers to turn over names of people who searched for retained documents

The US Department of Justice is intensifying its investigation of Donald Trump's unauthorized retention of national security materials at Mar-a-Lago as it prepares to question the people who searched the former president's Florida properties at the end of last year and found more documents with classified markings.

The department was given a general explanation from Trump's lawyers at the time about who conducted the search - a company known to Trump with experience handling classified records cases - when the new documents marked as classified were returned to the government around Thanksgiving last year.
