Trump employee told FBI former president ordered Mar-a-Lago boxes be moved

A Trump employee told federal agents that boxes containing troves of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago were moved at the bidding of the ex-president before the Florida estate was raided by FBI agents in August, according to a new report.

The witness account, backed by surveillance footage, indicates that Donald Trump told people to move the boxes to his residence at the Florida resort after the former president’s advisors received a subpoena in May demanding any classified documents remaining on the property, according to the Washington Post.

The unidentified employee, who was working at Mar-a-Lago, has been interviewed multiple times by federal agents, sources familiar with the situation told the paper.

In an initial interview with agents, the employee denied handling the boxes and documents. However investigators decided to interview him again after gathering additional evidence.

In the subsequent interview, he claimed that Trump told people to move the boxes to his residence on the resort property, according to the paper.
