Justice Department investigators are scrutinising how the actions of former president Donald Trump and at least one of his longtime aides may have kept a box containing documents with classification markings from being discovered during the 8 August search of his Palm Beach, Florida, property by FBI agents.
According to The Guardian, the box at issue contained “a handful” of documents bearing classification markings as well as copies of presidential schedules dating back to Mr Trump’s time in the White House. It was discovered in December after DOJ officials told Mr Trump’s attorneys to conduct another search for government-owned records at the twice-impeached ex-president’s property and subsequently turned over to federal authorities.
