The Mar-a-laro warrant shows that the documents were sought on suspicion of 3 types of crime. Espionage (18 U.S. Code § 793), Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations (§ 1519), and Concealment, removal, or mutilation of records (§ 2071)

We also believe that a lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump signed a written statement in June asserting that all material marked as classified and held in boxes in a storage area at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club had been returned to the government.

Believe? Doesn’t sound like there is a signed written statement if belief is all you have.

Suspect that Trump was aware of the documents by then.

What evidence is there to support this suspicion?

He was aware of the room. Apparently he kept his passports there.

His passports being taken in the raid does not mean they were kept in the room with the documents nor that he was aware of the documents.

It's been reported but we have to rely on the reporting standards of the press. We haven't seen the direct evidence yet.

The documents were in the room which he went into enough that he left his passports there. They had been there for over a year and were taken from the whitehouse when he left.

They were amongst the documents taken. They were not taken separately from the documents. We know this, because when they realized they had some of his passports, they were returned.
