Donald Trump seeks to withhold two folders seized at Mar-a-Lago

Donald Trump is seeking to withhold from the justice department two folders marked as containing correspondence with the National Archives and signing sheets that the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to court filings in the special master review of the confiscated documents.

A person close to the legal team referred questions about whether Trump was claiming attorney-client or executive privilege over the folders with the National Archives letters to a spokesman. The spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.

By comparing the unique identifier numbers for which Trump was not claiming privilege with the inadvertently unsealed list of potentially privileged documents, the Guardian was able to identify which documents the former president was seeking to withhold from the department.
