FBI found 11 sets of super-secret documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago: reports

The FBI reportedly found 11 sets of super-secret documents at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home along with boxes stuffed with less-sensitive documents like his pardon of Roger Stone information about French President Emmanuel Macron.

As a judge prepared to consider prosecutors’ request to unseal the search warrant, the Wall Street Journal revealed the list of items seized by the feds, some of which are so secret they are only supposed to be kept as secure government facilities.

The three-page list included handwritten notes and “binders of photos,” the paper reported.

It was not immediately clear if the inventory, which may be released publicly as soon as Friday afternoon, includes documents related to nuclear weapons.

The conservative news site Breitbart also said it obtained the list, along with the search warrant.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that federal prosecutors told a federal magistrate they were searching for super secret documents related nuclear weapons in the trove of documents Trump stashed at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Trump has derided the search as a “hoax” but has not denied improperly keeping the documents, which are government property, or given any explanation why he refused to comply with an earlier subpoena demanding their return.

He has repeatedly called for the Department of Justice to release the search warrant and list of what was taken, a cryptic claim since there is nothing stopping him from releasing them himself.

Attorney General Merrick Garland broke the department’s traditional silence on a matter under investigation to say that prosecutors support unsealing the documents.

Trump later said that he would not object to that move, although prosecutors have apparently not yet conveyed that to Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhold, who gave them till Friday afternoon to respond.
