知情人士告诉ABC新闻，特朗普的一名律师在6月份签署了一份声明，称Mar-a-Lago的所有机密文件都已移交给联邦调查人员。
签署声明之前，联邦特工在6月份进行了访问，以寻找特朗普据信未能移交给国家档案馆的额外材料。正如美国广播公司新闻此前报道的那样，在那次访问期间，特朗普停下来问候了特工。消息人士称，两名代表特朗普的律师在那次访问中在场。
消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻部，特朗普在6月底还遵从了第二张传票，寻求Mar-a-Lago俱乐部的安全录像。
《纽约时报》是第一个报道这些细节。
司法部拒绝置评。

ABC新闻首席法律分析师:机密问题对三分之二的法规来说可能无关紧要
特朗普团队表示，在本周联邦调查局的突袭中从Mar-a-Lago查获的文件已经解密。但是，根据美国广播公司新闻首席法律分析师达恩·阿布拉姆斯的说法，对于逮捕令中引用的两项刑事法规来说，它们是否属于机密可能无关紧要。
“当我查看这些法规时，我不太关注特朗普团队一直在谈论的问题，即文件的分类——从宏观角度来看，这显然非常重要——但从严格的法律意义上来说，这三项法规中的两项可能甚至不是关键问题，”艾布拉姆斯在搜查令发布后于周五在一份特别报告中对美国广播公司的大卫·穆尔说。
其中一项法令,《美国法典》第18编第1519条涉及销毁、篡改或伪造记录。
“这是我最感兴趣的法规，”艾布拉姆斯说。
根据搜查令，对Mar-a-Lago房产的搜查是为了寻找机密文件。

Lawmakers request 'damage assessment' of Mar-a-Lago documents
Two top House lawmakers sent a three-page letter Saturday to the director of national intelligence asking for an "immediate review and damage assessment" to national security stemming from reports that "highly classified documents" were recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., chair of the House Oversight Committee, wrote to National Intelligence Director Avril Haines that "Trump's conduct has potentially put our national security at grave risk" and that the issue "demands a full review."
Referring toWashington Post reportingthat the FBI was seeking in part material "relating to nuclear weapons," they said, "It is hard to overstate the national security danger that could emanate from the reckless decision to remove and retain this material."
They also asked for a classified briefing "as soon as possible."

Trump lawyer said in June all classified documents were turned over: Sources
A lawyer for Trump signed a statement in June that all classified documents at Mar-a-Lago had been turned over to federal investigators, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The signed declaration came following the June visit by federal agents in search of additional materials that Trump was believed to have failed to turn over to the National Archives. During that visit, as ABC News has previously reported, Trump stopped by and greeted the agents. Two lawyers representing Trump were present during that visit, sources have said.
There was also a second subpoena that Trump complied with seeking security footage of the Mar-a-Lago club towards the end of June, sources told ABC News.
The New York Times was thefirst to reportthese details.
The Justice Department declined to comment.
In a receipt showing property that was seized from Trump's estate, agents noted they recovered 11 sets of documents of various classifications ranging from confidential to top secret and sensitive compartmented information.

Classified question may not matter for 2 of 3 statutes: ABC News chief legal analyst
The Trump team has said that the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in this week's FBI raid were declassified. But whether or not they were classified may not matter for two of the criminal statutes cited in the warrant, according to ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams.
"As I look at these statutes, I'm focused less on the question that the Trump team has been talking about, which is the classification of the documents -- which is obviously very important in a macro picture -- but in a strictly legal sense, [for] two of these three statutes, that may not even be the critical question," Abrams told ABC's David Muir in a special report on Friday following the release of the search warrant.
One of the statutes, 18 USC 1519, relates to the destruction, alteration or falsification of records.
"That is the statute I am singularly most interested in here," Abrams said.
The search of the Mar-a-Lago estate was for classified documents, according to the warrant.
