The Justice Department says classified documents were 'likely concealed and removed' from a storage room at former President Donald Trump's Florida estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into the discovery of the government records.
DOJ says classified documents were "likely concealed and removed" from a storage room at former President Donald Trump's Florida estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation. A court filing from the Dept. of Justice included a picture of some of the seized documents bearing clear classification markings.
It also included a picture of some of the seized documents with colored cover sheets indicating their classified status, perhaps as a way to rebut suggestions that whoever packed them or handled them at Mar-a-Lago could have easily failed to appreciate their sensitive nature. That visit, which came weeks after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the records, receives substantial attention in the document and appears to be a key investigative focus.
The investigators were permitted to visit the storage room but were not allowed to open or look inside any of the boxes, "giving no opportunity for the government to confirm that no documents with classification markings remained," the Justice Department says.
