Former President Donald Trump tried to cut a deal with the National Archives and Records Administration to exchange boxes of material held at Mar-a-Lago for documents related to the FBI’s investigation of his ties to Russia, according to a report.
Although they never pursued it, Trump floated an idea to aides to try trading Mar-a-Lago documents later raided by the authorities for confidential documents he thought would exonerate him on Russia, per New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Michael Schmidt.
