WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Tuesday it had uncovered efforts to obstruct its investigation into the discovery of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Florida estate, saying “government records were likely concealed and removed” from a storage room even after the former president’s representatives had assured officials that they’d thoroughly searched the property.
The FBI also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found three classified documents stashed in office drawers, according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology to date of stained interactions between Justice Department officials and Trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets.
Tuesday night’s filing included a photo showing the cover pages of a smattering of paperclip-bound classified documents — some marked as “TOP SECRET//SCI” with bright yellow borders, and one marked as “SECRET//SCI” with a rust-colored border — along with whited-out pages, splayed out on a carpet at Mar-a-Lago. Beside them sits a cardboard box filled with gold-framed pictures, including a Time Magazine cover.
The filing offers yet another indication of the sheer volume of classified records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. It shows how investigators conducting a criminal probe have focused not just on why the records were improperly stored there, but also on the question of whether the Trump team intentionally misled them about the continued, and unlawful, presence of government secrets.

The Miami Florida media just ran a sound bite from a so-called expert saying foreign enemies could go into Mar-a-Lago and see the “top secret” papers.
😂
There is zero proof any of that is true. None.
But the watchdog media refuses to do its job.
“The ancient Near East,” wrote the Egyptologist Henri Frankfort, “considered kingship the very basis of civilization. Only savages could live without a king. Security, peace, and justice could not prevail without a ruler to champion them. If ever a political institution functioned with the assent of the governed, it was the monarchy, which built the pyramids and forced labor and drained the Assyrian peasantry by ceaseless wars.”
Since the DNC party bosses are imposing a dictatorship to drain us peasants —-
No charges.
Just routine national security check. Maybe they don’t know they have what they thought they were allowed to have.
Maybe a few laptops that haven’t been bleached.
Like when Bill stored things in his socks drawer. He didn’t know. Maybe files are mistakenly stored in Hillary’s pant suit closet….or in a private drawer with Michelle’s old maternity clothes. They just don’t realize it.
😬
1. President Trump declassified them, so he’s allowed to use them. And, as an ex-president he has the highest security clearance if anyone decides to reclassify them
2. If they are Russia-hoax related, it is a political classification and not a real one.
For starters, I think it’s time for a raid on the offices and homes of every living former POTUS.
On what charges?
You evidently don’t need charges anymore. That comes later after you reinterpret the law and create the evidence.
Living ex-presidents? Excluding President Trump?
The charge is treason.
I will pull the lever on the gallows.
It would be a treat to hang some commies.
Make room on the yardarm!!
“The Justice Department said Tuesday it had uncovered efforts to obstruct its investigation”
Liars.
“, saying “government records were likely concealed and removed” from a storage room”
First you say you uncovered evidence, now you say “likely”.
See? It’s a lie.
The AP, AKA the AssPress, is writing itself into oblivion.
They are trying SO HARD to find something...ANYTHING... that will show President Trump in a bad light.
GIVE IT UP AP, and do you know what is going to witness your demise...PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HONESTY.
The man does not know how to lie.
But you do, AP, don’t you.
Inching towards a guilty verdict.
Plus blood and signs of blood were found suggesting humans had struggled in that location.
This facility will be closed until the FBI can determine exactly what occurred at this location.
F-ing liars trying to cover their a$$es.
He did have one, I read it was specially constructed in Mar Lago for that purpose
*********************
Then why does everyone including Trump’s lawyers, keep using the term “storage room”? And how could he mishandle them if they are in a SCIF?
I’ve been saying since Biden was elected president that anger towards Biden is misdirected. We need to focus on his handlers, not on him. He is just a cardboard cutout.
Who put all that stuff on the floor? Trump family, secret service, or FBI?
First it was 15 boxes, now its 33. Tomorrow it will be 100. Not that it matters as it was all declassed.
Weasel words.
bright yellow borders are the worst. they really have him now.
