FBI Sought Documents Trump Hoarded for Years

This article in Newsweek by WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 8/17/22 answers some of the questions I've had about the justification and timing of the FBI search of Trump's Mar-a-Logo estate, and some inkling of the extent of Trump's stash and his possible motive and possible use of such information.
An excerpt from the article:
"All official documents, regardless of classification, are required to be returned to the Archives under the Presidential Records Act," one of the officials says. "And surely the FBI was going about its business of retrieving everything."
But it is accurate to think about what was retrieved at Mar-a-Lago as two distinct sets of documents—those that are being openly sought under the Presidential Records Act and those that formed part of Donald Trump's stash.
"What we're talking about here is not just documents that the Archives was seeking to fulfill the provisions of the Act," one of the officials says. "They were also after some number of documents that they considered more sensitive, but also documents that they felt the former president had no intention to return."

This info is a week old now, and an untold amount of legal wrangling is surely to come. Stay tuned!

Newsweek is so professional. "Donald Trump is hoarding and has a stash"? Does that include his weed?
