David Rohde is the senior executive editor for national security at NBC News.
This is an excerpt from the book “Where Tyranny Begins: The Justice Department, the FBI, and the War on Democracy,” by NBC News’ national security editor. On Aug. 1, 2022, senior Justice Department and FBI officials gathered on the seventh floor of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., for a historic meeting.
Other documents from his time in the White House, though, appeared to be missing. In May, Justice Department lawyers had obtained a subpoena that legally required Trump to return all of the classified material. On June 3, Bratt and two FBI agents had visited Mar-a-Lago and met in person with Trump’s lawyers.
