In a surprising turn of events, confidants of the erstwhile President Donald Trump have stumbled upon a new batch of potentially sensitive documents, this time nestled within a storage unit located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
This discovery was confirmed by a U.S. official to CBS News, marking yet another chapter in the ongoing saga surrounding Trump’s handling of classified materials.
Nestled inside a sealed box within the confines of the storage facility were two documents, each bearing the telltale signs of classification.
This recent find adds to the burgeoning pile of over 300 documents with classified markings previously unearthed at various Trump-owned properties earlier this year.
Swiftly following their discovery, these documents were handed over to the jurisdiction of the FBI.
This revelation serves as the initial hint that Trump-owned locations may have been, or could still be, repositories for classified materials.
In an effort to shed light on this matter, representatives of Trump embarked on a search mission around Thanksgiving.
Their investigation spanned across three locations: the former president’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey; Trump Tower in New York; and a storage facility at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The Washington Post was the first to break this intriguing story.
The timing of this discovery aligns ominously with a period of increasing legal jeopardy for Trump.
Notably, on August 8, the FBI confiscated 33 boxes of records during a search warrant execution at Mar-a-Lago.
