WASHINGTON — Twenty-seven documents with classified and top secret markings were recovered from former President Donald Trump’s office at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to a detailed inventory of what the FBI removed during its court-approved search of the home last month.
The eight-page inventory detailing thousands of government documents removed in the search, includes the locations where each item removed from the property was found and if they were classified, but not the subject matter. In many cases highly classified materials are listed has having been stored in same boxes as hundreds of unclassified documents including newspaper and magazine clippings, and other items including clothing.
Trump’s lawyers demanded more information about what was seized from the Palm Beach estateas part of their request for a third-party special master to review the items, but objected to making the inventory public during a court hearing Thursday. The Justice Department did not object.
