Why would DOJ, in a June 8 letter, direct Trump's lawyer to keep the disputed records at Mar-a-Lago "preserved in that room until further notice" instead of turning them over to the National Archives? If the goal truly was to recover the records for the Archives, and not to set Trump up or entrap him in a criminal sting operation, why would DOJ not just remand the additional boxes to the custody of NARA?
