Unlike the mythic Comet Pizza pedophile basement den that drew an actual now-imprisoned QAnon shooter, Mar-a-Lago has one. If Trump’s lawyers didn’t lie to investigators, who Bill Barr says were being “jerked around”, who did? Peter Strzok says the missing material is still an ongoing threat. There are documents yet to be recovered. Trump was more than an office supplies thief and took more than red Swinglinetm staplers. The Feeb found his passport(s) in among some of the folders in his desk and the single-key accessible, windowless nook had even more pilfered booty in the cellar.
The ornate centerpiece of the historic Mar-a-Lago estate that Donald Trump bought for cheap in 1985 is an expansive, elegant living room, featuring a golden coffered ceiling and a massive stone fireplace.
Directly beneath lies a far more modest open area with a concrete floor.
It was dug into the foundations of the early 20th-century building not long after Trump bought the place, a former employee said, carved out to create more space to store tables, chairs, umbrellas — the stuff necessary to complete Trump’s conversion of what had once been a grand residence for a single family into a private club for 500 members.

Christina Bobb did not respond to later questions about the (solitary) key — including where it was kept and who controlled access to it. Some of her other assertions in the days after the search have since been called into question. (For instance, she told The Washington Post last month that she and Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran allowed a Justice official to open boxes and flip through documents in June, a claim prosecutors have now alleged is untrue.) Still, another person familiar with the room, who like several others interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing criminal case, agreed that only one key existed to the lock on the closet’s door.
