Attorneys for former President Donald Trump have located at least two more classified documents. According to a stunning report from the Washington Post, the one-term President hired an outside team to comply with a subpoena, and they searched a storage unit in West Palm Beach, Fla., used by Trump. And this happened after team Trump claimed that he had no other classified documents.
The Washington Post reports:
Those items were immediately turned over to the FBI, according to those people, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
The search was one of at least three searches conducted by an outside team of his properties for classified materials in recent weeks after they were pressed by a federal judge to attest they had fully complied with a May grand jury subpoena to turn over all materials bearing classified markings, according to people familiar with the matter.
Emails released by the General Services Administration, which assists former presidents during their transition to private life, show that the government agency helped secure the storage unit at a private facility in West Palm Beach on July 21, 2021. The unit was needed to store items that had been held at an office in Northern Virginia used by Trump staffers in the months just after he left office.
The emails show that GSA and Trump staffers worked together to arrange to ship several pallets of boxes and other items weighing more than 3,000 pounds from Northern Virginia to the Florida storage unit in September 2021.
People familiar with the matter said the storage unit had a mix of boxes, gifts, suits and clothes, among other things. "It was suits and swords and wrestling belts and all sorts of things," this person said. "To my knowledge, he has never even been to that storage unit. I don't think anyone in Trump world could tell you what's in that storage unit."
There was no cataloging of what was put in the storage unit, Trump advisers said — just as there was no cataloging of what classified documents were taken to a room underneath Mar-a-Lago.
So, they were just found lying around, and the former President wasn't aware that the classified documents were there? How can anyone in their right mind find that a credible excuse? We can't know if Lumpy has more of our nation's secrets or if he copied them.
