Lawyer says Trump used ‘Classified Evening Summary’ empty folder to block light in bedroom at night
The Hill ^ | 02-13-2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Lawyer Timothy Parlatore said on Sunday that former President Trump, whom Parlatore represents, used an empty folder that said “Classified Evening Summary” to block a light in his bedroom at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

“He has one of those landline telephones next to his bed, and it has a blue light on it, and it keeps him up at night. So he took the manilla folder and put it over so it would keep the light down so he could sleep at night,” Parlatore told CNN.

“It’s just this folder. It says ‘Classified Evening Summary’ on it. It’s not a classification marking. It’s not anything that is controlled in any way. There is nothing illegal about it.”

The folder was reportedly turned over to the Justice Department in December, months after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, along with more materials with classified markings and a laptop belonging to a current Trump aide.

Classified materials had reportedly been electronically copied onto the laptop.

Trump throws classified papers on the floor and does his taxes on the kitchen table. /s/

Blinds won’t block a blue light on his phone right next to the bed. But this is funny! Classic Trump.

“Because he can’t afford blinds.”

That was my exact first thought. But he put the folder over a landline phone with a light on it on his nightstand. I’m with President Trump — I HATE those little LED lights on 24x7 all over the house.

What the Hill does this matter? Are they inferring that classified documents were everywhere( sticking out of his night table and sock drawers)? This is just bizarre that they are clinging onto this document garbage.

He probably scratches his butt occasionally. That’s not presidential and he should be banned from holding any public office, forever.

I can relate. I use a folder marked “The Illuminati’s Plans For World Domination” to block bedroom light.

Oops. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned this.

There are sheets of stickers that you can buy to totally block those little lights. I know, another thing to buy. But they work great and are an elegant solution if you buy the right color. I’ve taped fabric on them but it’s not as nice.

I used a book "The Alien Agenda" for a coffee coaster. It has the really real, honest to goodness truth about the aliens secret plan to take over the world in it, so I'm basically screwed.

And then the rest of the world is screwed, too...

Next up, Trump needs to have a lobotomy because he might remember something he read that is classified, and the country’s national security may not survive that.

Yes, absolutely. Why else would they have pawed through Melania's wardrobe and Barron's underwear drawer?

These are NOT classified. They cover things that are classified.
