New information from the affidavit used in the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search was revealed Tuesday.
Legal analysts said it suggested Trump approved a false statement by his lawyer.
The FBI is investigating Trump over his retention of top secret documents after leaving office.
New details from the affidavit used in the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago suggest that former President Donald Trump may have authorized a false statement his attorneys made to the DOJ, legal analysts said.
Experts zeroed in on a statement in the affidavit an attorney for Trump gave to investigators when they visited Mar-a-Lago to retrieve government records in June.
The details had previously been redacted, but were made public Tuesday on a federal magistrate's orders.
Investigators believe that Trump may have violated laws including the Espionage Act in holding onto the records, and also that Trump and his aides may have obstructed the FBI's investigation.
According to the newly released information, one Trump attorney told the DOJ "he was not advised there were any records in any private office space or other locations in Mar-a-Lago."
Christina Bobb, a lawyer for Trump, also signed a statement saying that all of the information requested by the government had been handed back.
This turned out to be false. When agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago on August 8, they found stashes of highly confidential records, including in Trump's offices, haphazardly kept alongside his personal items.
