Agents last August obtained a search warrant to recover classified documents following what the Justice Department said were months of resistance by Trump and his representatives to return the records to the government.It is the latest following the Nov. 2 discovery of documents with classified markings by Biden lawyers — disclosed only last month — as they closed up an office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank affiliated with the Ivy League school.
