Attorney said he warned Trump that FBI could raid Mar-a-Lago over documents

  • Donald Trump was warned by his lawyers multiple times that the FBI could search his Mar-a-Lago residence for classified documents if he didn't comply with a subpoena. Despite the warnings, Trump refused to hand over the documents and said he didn't want anyone looking through his boxes.
  • Trump's former lawyer, Evan Corcoran, warned him that the FBI would search his estate if he didn't comply with the subpoena. Corcoran's warnings were saved as audio notes and confirmed by NBC News. Months later, the FBI executed a court-approved search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, as predicted by Corcoran.
  • Trump had the opportunity to negotiate a settlement with the Justice Department to avoid charges related to the classified documents scandal. However, he chose not to pursue this option and instead listened to advisors who urged a more combative approach. This poor judgment and refusal to cooperate led to the current situation that Trump is facing.
