‘This Is the A-Team:’ MoFo’s Brandon Van Grack on DOJ’s Legal Strategy in Trump Documents Case

Brandon Van Grack was featured in the National Law Journal, explaining the Justice Department’s legal strategy in its unprecedented battle with former President Trump over the documents seized during an FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home.

We also know that the government has not been able to make a lot of progress since they’ve made those representations because they’ve been denied access to most of the materials that were seized at Mar-a-Lago.
