The Department of Justice unsealed it’s most detailed inventory yet of the items recovered from Mar-a-Lago.
They include 48 empty folders marked “CLASSIFIED,” alongside other documents.
Trump’s lawyers had sought more information about items recovered, but opposed making the inventory public.
The Department of Justice revealed on Friday that 48 empty folders marked “CLASSIFIED” were recovered from Mar-a-Lago during the FBI raid last month.
The revelation came as part of a broader inventory of the items recovered by agents, the most detailed yet.
“The investigative team has reviewed the seized materials infurtherance of its ongoing investigation, evaluating the relevance and character of each item seized, and making preliminary determinations about investigative avenues suggested or warranted by the character and nature of the seized items,” read an accompanying letter. “The seized materials will continue to be used to further the government’s investigation, and the investigative team will continue to use and evaluate the seized materials as it takes further investigative steps.”
At a Thursday hearing in West Palm Beach, Florida, US District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled to unseal a status report from the team investigating Trump’s handling of national security information.
