The Department of Justice has reportedly taken steps to launch an investigation into ex-President Donald Trump’s removal of boxes of presidential records to his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Some of the boxes of documents subject to the probe were labeled ‘top secret’, sources with knowledge on the matter told the Washington Post on Thursday.

It is unclear whether Justice Department officials have already started looking at the records or seeking interviews with individuals believed to be involved in improperly removing them from the White House.

The probe is in the very early stages, sources said.

Also on Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney accused the Justice Department of obstructing the panel’s investigation into the 15 boxes that Trump took to his Palm Beach residence.
