Among the materials seized in the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago were multiple empty folders that bore a classified marking, the document unsealed Friday says.
Former President Donald Trump intermingled classified and unclassified materials in boxes at his Florida residence and had multiple empty folders that bore a “classification” marking, according to an inventory list made public Friday morning that describes in more detail what FBI agents recovered when they searched Mar-a-Lago last month.
A federal judge — with approval from Trump’s legal team and Justice Department lawyers — ordered Thursday that the inventory list be unsealed. The 11-page document provides the most detailed view yet of the government materials that Trump kept with him in Florida after he left the White House and the seemingly haphazard way he stored them.
Previously released court documents had revealed that Trump had 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked “top secret,” which means the exposure of them could pose “exceptionally grave danger” to national security.
