White House records recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence by National Archives

Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was reportedly searched by the National Archives last month, which led to several boxes of White House records being recovered by the archival agency.

Trump advisers deny that the boxes were removed from the White House with malicious intent.
