The “everyday discussion” over executing a search warrant at the former president’s Florida club still caused “consternation,” the official said.
During his conversation with committee aides, Steven D’Antuono said DOJ wanted FBI agents to immediately use a search warrant to seize documents from Mar-a-Lago.
“We made comments like this — like, ‘no one is down there anyway at this point,’ right,” D’Antuono said in the interview. “It’s empty. The [former] president is gone. He was in Bedminster, or wherever he was. Let’s plan this the right way. We’ve got time.” Trump’s retention of those same sensitive documents is now at the heart of the 37-count federal felony indictment against him that was, two days after D’Antuono’s congressional interview. According to the indictment, Trump kept a trove of highly sensitive materials, including documents about overseas nuclear holdings and military plans, at his Florida club.
“So if somebody took it the other way, I’m sorry, but that’s — that was just the general discussion that we would have in every case. Every case,” D’Antuono added.
