The Justice Department said in a late Tuesday court filing that it is having a hard time finding secure document storage companies willing to get involved in the legal fight over former President Donald Trump storing sensitive materials at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
In a filing just before midnight, the Justice Department said it needs more time to find a company to secure and digitize the tens of thousands of documents seized from Mr. Trump’s residence because none of the companies are willing to work with the former president’s legal team.
“Plaintiff informed us this morning that none of the five document-review vendors proposed by the government before last Tuesday’s preliminary conference were willing to be engaged by the plaintiff,” the department said in the filing.
