UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the FBI recovered ELEVEN sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago in 20 boxes found on the property.
The classified files were ‘meant to be kept in special government facilities.’
An unverified report claims that agents discovered ‘boxes everywhere’, including some papers labeled top secrets, from two areas including a ‘storage room near a pool’ and his ‘personal office above a ballroom’.
Reportedly, some of the papers had Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information – the highest level of classification.
This could be an episode of Law & Order.
We’ve now learned that the FBI was searching for top secret documents about nuclear weapons that Trump removed from the White House and brought to Mar-a-Lago.
In episode two, AG Garland ordered the warrant unsealed due to “the public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred in its contents”. Now it’s up to Trump and his lawyers to agree to make the warrant public. Despite his comments to the contrary, Trump already has seen the warrant.
Trump ignored a subpoena in June, thereby forcing the FBI raid.
Back story:
According to insiders, Trump was fixated on all matters pertaining to nuclear weapons when he was in the White House, and the intelligence department was worried about his penchant for showing (off) highly classified material to people without clearance (read: his kids.)
At the end of episode two, we see Garland calling trump’s bluff and agree to make the warrant public but will Trump want that? He has already denied taking classified material and even suggested the FBI ‘planted’ evidence.
Will Trump agree to the unsealing of the warrant? Stay tuned.
