Engoron wants Trump&#8217;s legal team to provide a detailed description of the Trump Organization&#8217;s policies on document storage and a review of documents in about five remaining boxes connected to Trump that had not been searched. <\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Trump turned over an updated affidavit claiming that he no longer possessed the mobile devices requested by New York Attorney General Letitia James, CNN <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/05\/11\/politics\/donald-trump-new-york-judge-civil-contempt\/index.html?utm_source=twCNNp&#038;utm_content=2022-05-11T16%3A36%3A15&#038;utm_term=link&#038;utm_medium=social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.
