The BBC is reporting that there were “dozens” of “top secret” files in the boxes of material confiscated by the FBI.
FBI agents found dozens of empty folders marked as classified during a search of Donald Trump’s home last month, a court document shows.
The document, made public by a Florida court, provides an inventory of the contents of 33 boxes recovered from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
It also shows top secret files were recovered from his personal office.
Mr Trump, who is being investigated over his handling of classified records, denies wrongdoing.
Previous court filings have confirmed the ex-president held classified records in storage areas at Mar-a-Lago, but the document unsealed on Friday showed dozens of files were found in Mr Trump’s office.
Among the items recovered from that room during the unprecedented 8 August search were:
- 3 documents marked confidential
- 17 documents marked secret
- 7 documents marked top secret
- 43 empty folders with classified banners
- 28 empty folders labelled “Return to staff secretary/military aide”
Mr Trump has rebuked these claims, arguing he had already declassified the documents that were in his possession. He has also argued that the files were kept securely in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago.
But the inventory unsealed on Friday showed FBI agents retrieved about 1,500 documents from his office as well as folders labelled with classified banners that were empty.
The court filing also confirms previous reports that many records were mixed with personal effects, including clothes, books and newspapers.
Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for Mr Trump, said the unsealed document showed the government’s actions were “not some surgical, confined search and retrieval” but “a SMASH AND GRAB”.
Obviously no.

Sorry, can’t let you in.
Wipe it, like with a cloth?
Smash and grab and stuff (as in ballot boxes).
There is no reason to expect the the Federal Bureau of Lies did not plant documents in the mix as they did not allow lawyers to observe or even security videos to record the activity.
Every bit of “evidence” is tainted at this point.
\”FBI agents found dozens of empty folders marked as classified during a search of Donald Trump’s home last month, a court document shows.\”
Bull shit. The FBI and the DOJ are acting like a damn criminal enterprise. Trump still has the security footage and the have no idea what that shows. I\’ll bet Trump\’s never left so much as a candy wrapper laying around let alone jackets to top secret info.
FBI Motto: Show me the man and we will plant whatever evidence we need to charge him with a crime!
Should we waste a moment of mental energy asking questions we already know the answer to? Did the FBI raid Chappaqua? Did the FBI layout Hillary’s server on the floor, take a photo of it, and leak it to the press? Asked… Answered.
Not in this lifetime, skirted sooooo much but not this time.
Say your goodbyes to any office in the US government. Lock him up!
Do they really believe that Trump is stoopid enough to actually keep classified material in a safe in his friking basement? For God’s sake the man is a billionaire, I think he’d be smart enough to have them stored in, oh I don’t know, something like a bank vault in Switzerland or something.
Oh yes he is! Sooooooo stupid & busted. Jumpsuit in is future is very near.
I thought 🤔 when she was First Lady 🤮 wasn’t there some 500 FBI files that went missing and they ended up finding them in a room at the White House.
I think her excuse was, she was baking cookies with her daughter 😂
