Trump Lawyers Turned Over Laptop, Other Secret Documents To Feds: Report

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has handed over more classified documents and an aide’s laptop to federal prosecutors in recent months, according to the report.

The transfer took place in December last year and in January, according to CNN. An empty folder marked “Secret Evening Briefing” was also handed over to investigators, according to the news outlet.

Lawyers for the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief reportedly discovered the documents while searching crates at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in December and handed them over to the Justice Department.

The laptop belonging to an aide hired by the Save America PAC reportedly contained copies of the same documents that Trump’s lawyers found in December and was handed over to investigators in January along with a flash drive.

In November, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed veteran prosecutor Jack Smith to lead two investigations into the former president, including one involving Trump’s mishandling of presidential documents and classified records.

FBI agents seized hundreds of pages of classified documents and other presidential records during a raid on Trump’s residence and private club in Palm Beach, Florida last August.

More classified material was later found at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware. , which the FBI searched in January.

On Friday, FBI agents ransacked Pence’s Indiana home for five hours, seizing one classified document more than three weeks after the former vice president turned over two boxes of records marked confidential to the bureau.
