All that unsecured Hunter laptop crap goes ‘poof’, because apparently he never tried to overthrow the US government. The trope about FBI “lethal force” is designed(sic) to distract you from the Trump PAC’s custody of classified material.
Former President Trump's attorneys found classified documents in his bedroom four months after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, per court documents unsealed Tuesday.
The big picture: The revelation comes as part of a newly unsealed opinion that U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell cited last year when she found that prosecutors brought forward sufficient evidence to show Trump mishandled classified documents.
- The former president's classified documents trial in Florida was indefinitely postponed earlier this month, with the judge citing the number of outstanding pre-trial motions.
Zoom in: An empty folder and "another mostly empty folder marked `Classified Evening Summary'" were found when Trump lawyers searched his properties following the FBI's August 2022 raid on the former president's Florida home.
- The judge wrote in an 87-page opinion that, "Notably, no excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago."
- Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
Worth noting: A witness scanned the contents of the box containing the classified materials and stored them on a laptop in her possession owned by Trump's Save America PAC, according to a footnote in the opinion.
- Trump's office gave the box containing the four records to the FBI in January 2023, in compliance with another subpoena, per the court filing.
