NARA basically created this whole thing by not assisting Trump with the transfer of documents and then requesting them back. This all stems from them not following their own procedure, probably on purpose.

I think we are now seeing the real reason President Trump moved his official residency from New York to Florida. If he had not moved, this case would be in an openly hostile New York jurisdiction rather than Florida.

Here's some key information for those interested in the legal definitions of records.

When an outgoing president intends to take documents with him, he is required to separate personal records from presidential records. Any documents which are not by definition Presidential records are therefore personal records. Personal records are the property of that outgoing President, and are defined as follows:

“’personal records’ means all documentary materials of a purely private or nonpublic character which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.”

Presidential records, however, are owned by the public and are placed into NARA custody when the President leaves office. The PRA specifically states:

“’Presidential records’ means documentary materials created or received by the President, the President’s immediate staff, or a unit or individual of the Executive Office of the President whose function is to advise or assist the President, in the course of conducting activities which relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.”

The definitions are important, because it means that any document which was not provided to the President for the purpose of fulfilling the duties of his office, or to anyone in his cabinet for the purpose of advising or assisting him in fulfilling those duties, can be treated as a personal record, so long as they have no clear bearing on the completion of the duties of the office of President.

The article says

The DOJ is no longer legally arguing that Donald Trump held any classified documents at Mar-Da-Lago. The DOJ is arguing that President Trump held documents vital to U.S. defense security. It's a farce but that's their position. The classification status of documents is moot

This is a misunderstanding. The Classification of documents is not moot. The law is older than the classification system. The crime charged is Willful retention of national defense information. Classification is evidence for the charge.

I'm also confused about the testimony part. I haven't heard their testimony being used in the indictment. I have heard that about M. Evan Corcoran, though. Perhaps the article is confusing this? There's 3 "Trump attorneys" in the indictment. (People who are not indicted are not named.) People seem to think Corcoran, Christina Bobb are 1 and 3. I haven't heard about who 2 is, but I don't think Trusty was even on this case yet. Trusty is not licensed to practice in Florida, but in DC. He had to apply for a special approval to appear in this case in August 2022. Remember a lot of people thought this case would not be brought in Miami, but DC.

Looking further, I see Trump Attorney 2 might be Jennifer Little.

One theory I have heard is they clashed with Boris Epshteyn.
