Former President Hoards ‘Beautiful Mind’ Boxes, Faces Legal Peril
- Former President Donald Trump's attachment to boxes of papers and odds and ends has left him in serious legal peril.
- The boxes referred to as the "beautiful mind" material contained a blizzard of newspapers and official documents that he kept close.
- The contents of the boxes are at the heart of a 38-count indictment against the former president and his personal aide, Walt Nauta.
- Mr. Trump's attachment to the contents of the boxes is in keeping with a long pattern of behavior, as he has always hung onto news clippings, documents, and other mementos.
- The charging document includes photos detailing just how many dozens of those cardboard boxes Mr. Trump had amassed, and they are piled on a stage at Mar-a-Lago, stuffed into a storage room, even stacked in a bathroom, with some behind a shower curtain.
