Federal investigators are now focused on two Trump aides, Walt Nauta and Will Russell, who the Justice Department believe are witnesses to documents being moved at Trump’s direction, according to the report. The WSJ adds that neither aide is officially cooperating with the investigation, but both are believed to be key witnesses with first-hand knowledge. The report by Sadie Gurman and Alex Leary notes:Federal officials also have expressed concern about whether Mr. Trump took documents on flights as he traveled from Mar-a-Lago to his other properties in New York and New Jersey. The FBI seized 11,000 documents, including many marked classified or top secret, from Trump’s Florida estate on August 8th. On Wednesday, Washington Post detailed revelations from a Trump employee, believed to be Nauta, who told federal agents that boxes of documents were moved at Mar-a-Lago “at the specific direction” of Trump.
