Trump lawyer James Trusty blasted the Justice Department for ignoring his client's privilege claims, saying the department was reaching for an obstruction angle that"just isn't there."

Last January, the National Archives and Records Administration retrieved 15 boxes from Trump's Mar-a-Lago private resort and club in Palm Beach, Florida.

In August of last year, the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and confiscated additional material in a move that followed months of back and forths with Trump's team. At one point prior to the raid, a Trump lawyer attested that, to the best of her knowledge, all related documents were relinquished.

"The president has every right to be frustrated by being politically targeted. I mean, we are crossing a Rubicon," Trusty said.
