Trump could face more FBI raids as witness suggests documents still hidden: ex-prosecutor
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani is warning there might be more classified documents in Donald Trump's possession — and another FBI raid might be on the horizon, Newsweek reported.
Among the revelations in the stolen document case is that Mar-a-Lago employee Brian Butler, in an interview with CNN, said he helped Trump aide Walt Nauta deliver boxes of the documents to a plane "in June 2022 — the same day that Trump and his attorney were meeting with the Justice Department at Mar-a-Lago about the classified documents."
Trump was about to fly to his Bedminster country club when Nauta asked Butler to move the boxes, Butler, a witness for the prosecution, said.
"But it was an unusual request from Nauta for the car, Butler [said], because Nauta typically didn’t handle moving luggage and asked Butler for the car in a guarded way," the CNN report said.

“I come to realize now at the same time he’s going in there, the boxes are going from somewhere into a vehicle, which are eventually going to the plane, which I load with Walt,” Butler said.
“They were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. That’s what I remember loading,” he said.
Federal investigators have yet to stage a raid on Bedminster as they did at Mar-a-Lago. Nor have they done a search in Trump's apartment at Trump Tower, Rahmani said.
"Prosecutors won't know if classified documents still remain at Trump's other homes unless they execute search warrants there," Rahmani said when speaking to Newsweek.
Special counsel Jack Smith, "Is unlikely to do so at this stage of the case and during the election, but that possibility exists, especially because Trump has failed to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas in the past," said Rahmani.
