The Justice Department on Thursday said Trump may not have turned over all of the classified documents taken from the White House.
Joe Biden’s corrupt Justice Department on Thursday appealed Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
“Notice is hereby given that the United States of America. Defendant in the above-captioned matter, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the order of the district court entered on September 5, 2022.” the DOJ attorney wrote.
The DOJ in its filing asked Judge Cannon to allow it to continue reviewing the classified documents seized by the FBI from Trump’s Florida residence.
The DOJ also said there may be more classified documents that Trump hasn’t turned over after it was revealed last week that there were 48 empty folders marked classified.
Government prosecutors sounded the alarm in its court filing.
“Without a stay, the government and the public will also suffer irreparable harm from the undue delay to the criminal investigation,” prosecutors wrote.
Reuters reported:
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s team may not have returned all the classified records removed from the White House at the end of his presidency even after an FBI search of his home, U.S. prosecutors warned on Thursday, calling it a potential national security risk that needs investigation.
That revelation came in a Justice Department court filing asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to let it continue reviewing about 100 classified records seized by the FBI at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate while it investigates whether classified documents were illegally removed from the White House and improperly stored there.

Aaaaaand, they still got nuthin’.
If Merrick Garland was a decent man and a true public servant he would step down for this investigation.
Maybe 7 or 8 people at the DOJ aren’t biased haters and one of them could take over the fiasco. They need to understand it’s easier to throw away the trust they’ve earned than get it back.
Yep they have nothing to work with.
The DOJ in its filing asked Judge Cannon to allow it to continue reviewing the classified documents.
He undoubtedly has multiple copies in multiple locations under multiple custodies.
If I were Trump and had any documents on FBI and DOJ collusion with the Russian collusion hoax, I would not give them to any part of the Biden admin.
What difference does it make if Trump has some documents? This is about raw use of power.
Enter the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act. In other words, as of 2013, the government is allowed to generate hoaxes and not be accountable for propagandizing.
Thank you so much, Dems and Obama!

The FBI speaks as if it was Trump's obligation to have collected and to "turn over" to them all the documents they would need to convict him in the one location, where he surely knew they would raid.
I’m not familiar with an evidentiary basis to collect ALL copies of anything.
