WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s legal team turned over several pages of documents with classified markings and a laptop containing electronic scans of those materials to federal investigators in recent months, a person familiar with the situation said.
The handovers took place in December and January, according to the person, who asked not to be named discussing a pending investigation.
Trump’s team had hired outside investigators to do a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and other properties, the person said, and during a December search found the handful of pages with classification markings among several thousand pages of Trump’s presidential schedules in a box.
