The document offered how many documents were classified.
QUICK FACTS:
- The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a detailed inventory list of the items seized from former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago.
- A list was released on Friday as the court weighs its decision about Trump’s request for a “special master” to review the documents seized during the FBI raid.
- Many files were marked in the list as confidential secret or top secret. There were more classification labels, including press materials, such as newspapers and magazines.
- Details about what the specific files contained was not revealed in the DOJ’s document, however, a number of non-documents, including folders and books were also reportedly seized.
FILE DETAILS:
- A total of 54 documents marked “Secret,” 18 documents marked “Top Secret,” and 31 documents marked “Confidential” were seized from President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
- 12,853 more items were either unclassified documents or images, or research resources like newspapers, magazines, or other media files.
- The DOJ’s list included 33 items, or boxes, as part of their Exhibit A, and of those 33, 16 included documents that were labeled confidential in some way.
- The other 17 items were either personal or some sort of box, gift, or government documents without classifications lables or press materials, such as newspapers and magazines.
BACKGROUND:
- The list of documents was released after a heavily redacted affidavit was made public last week, which showed the main concern to the DOJ was that Trump was potentially housing classified documents in an insecure way.
- The FBI also reportedly took Trump’s passport, though this was later returned.
