The US Department of Justice’s unprecedented investigation continues into the documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, raising many intertwined domestic law and national security concerns. What’s the likely trajectory of the criminal investigation? How might the Mar-a-Lago proceedings be sequenced with the separate and ongoing investigations and prosecutions around the events of January 6? How do the interests of the intelligence community figure into whether and how to bring criminal charges in such cases? How should we assess the performance of the Justice Department and intelligence community to date? What is essential to understand—and what are common misconceptions about—the Espionage Act, the rules governing (de)classification, executive privilege, and the Presidential Records Act? At this Forum, experts with backgrounds in law, journalism, intelligence, and senior government service will explore the state of play in the case and analyze the bigger picture.
