Former US President Donald Trump’s team allegedly made false statements about the whereabouts of classified documents in his possession, according to a report. At least one of the Republican attorneys is said to have signed a statement in June that the material marked classified had been returned to the government in its entirety, the New York Times reported Saturday, citing four unnamed individuals.
This document would have been handed over to the Ministry of Justice.
Searched inside Trump’s estate

Has Trump broken multiple laws?
In addition, the ex-president may have violated several laws, including the US Espionage Act. According to an FBI listing, the agents also found Top Secret/SCI documents, which can only be viewed in special government facilities.
Trump spoke again on Saturday on the online network Truth Social, which he co-founded. There, the 76-year-old wrote that he had the truth on his side — and if you had the truth on your side, you would ultimately prevail.
