President Donald Trump was reportedly seen receiving election-related documents from Jeffrey Clark, a lawyer and former official at the Department of Justice.
The information comes in a new batch of unsealed exhibits in Trump's classified documents case.
Politico's Kyle Cheney first spotted what he called "some wild stuff in this newly unsealed (but heavily redacted) FBI interview from a high-level Trump-world person."
In the redacted interview, a person described as "Person 24" tried to "overplay a relationship with Trump and pushed the post-hoc claims that Trump had 'declassified everything,'" Cheney observed in the assessment.

At one point, Trump family members apparently were leveraged to pressure the former president to return classified documents to the U.S. government.
The informant said "he needed to give the stuff back" and "was not worth all the aggravation."

"And while the interview is primarily about the docs investigation, this person apparently witnessed Jeff Clark hand Trump the letter about Georgia electors," Cheney noted.
Clark has been charged in a Georgia election interference case in which a co-conspirator intended to use false electors to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
