AGAIN: More Classified Items Found in Trump’s Possession, This Time in a Storage Unit


At least two items marked as classified were found in a storage unit in West Palm Beach, Florida, after lawyers for former President Donald Trump arranged for a firm to search for additional classified material, according to a published report Wednesday. The items were provided to the FBI.

The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the items were discovered by an outside team brought in by Trump’s representatives to search his other properties after the FBI recovered roughly 100 documents marked classified during an Aug. 8 search of his Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago.

The nature of the newly found material was not immediately clear, but the storage unit in which they were found had been used to hold items from an office in northern Virginia used by Trump staffers after he left office, the newspaper said.

The 100 or so documents the FBI took from Mar-a-Lago in August were on top of 37 bearing classification markings that Trump lawyers retrieved from the home during a June visit. In addition, 15 boxes containing about 184 classified documents were recovered in January by the National Archives and Records Administration.

The possibility that the Justice Department had not yet recovered all classified materials has existed for months.

The FBI’s August search of the home came after investigators developed evidence indicating that additional sensitive documents remained there, even though Trump representatives had certified that all classified documents requested in a Justice Department subpoena had been located and returned.

After a federal judge pressured the Trump team to demonstrate its full compliance with the subpoena, the newspaper said, it brought in an outside firm to search properties including Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, as well as Trump Tower in New York City.

A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.

A spokesman for Trump, responding to reports about an outside firm’s search for classified materials, said in a statement, “President Trump and his counsel continue to be cooperative and transparent, despite the unprecedented, illegal, and unwarranted attack against President Trump and his family by the weaponized Department of Justice.”

Spokesman Steven Cheung did not respond to a follow-up phone call about subsequent reporting indicating that a search of the storage unit had turned up at least two items with classification markings.

  1. Totally dispicable that they are after this man. He was the greatest president, was for the people, America, and democracy. He deserves NONE of this!
    Absolutely disgusting.
    Biden is a rotten old fart who is ripping apart the fabric of this country and runs away from any important question and laughs in our (the American) people’s faces. Never did he visit the open border, never did he expose all videos of Jan 6 to the public and see the truth, never did Hunter the criminal Biden get investigated on. This country is going down

  2. Not only that, they looked into these …and found nothing illegal, Obama, Hillary all took documents back with them ..Trump did too…who cares??

  3. I am finally giving in. I have been a Trump fan for over 20 years, read his books, followed his career and listened every time he gave a talk. He has clearly shown that he lost it. He has no control over what he says and has done multiple things demonstrating complete immaturity and irresponsibility. I appreciate all that he did for Klal Yisroel and Eretz Yisroel but it is time to go.

  4. TRUMP HAS TROUBLE ADMITING HE WAS WRONG. HE DID TRY TO DEFEND HIMSELF EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT ENOUGH. ITS A A SUBTLE ADMIT. BIDEN WOULD OF SAID THAT HE DID EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND EVERYONE WOULD BE STICKING UP FOR HIM.

  5. Teal,
    Do you apologize forever meeting anyone or sitting with anyone who happens to disagree with you or your values? The answer is no. So just because someone meets with someone doesn’t mean they agree with them especially in this case, we know he doesn’t agree with them.

  6. If you guys are quoting and believing the Washington Compost as if it’s הלכה למשה מסיני, and there’s no difference between you and the Matzavington Compost.
