The FBI seized over 11,000 government documents and photographs during a search of former US President Donald Trump's estate. In addition, there were empty folders marked “secret”.
The court records were made public on the details of the searches. At the Trump estate in Florida on August 8, 18 records and photographs were found marked “top secret”, 54 – “secret” and 31 – “confidential”.
Documents among Newspaper clippings
Journalists point out that “top secret” is the highest level for state secrets.
Interestingly, classified documents were sometimes combined with other items. For example, books, magazines and newspaper clippings.
Empty folders
We also found 90 empty folders, 48 of which were marked “secret”. It is not clear why the folders were empty. There should probably be other records.
Previously, it was reported that 71 empty folders were seized from the Trump office and another 19 from the storage for classified documents in Mar-a-Lago, which were marked with restricted access.< /p>
