This just keeps going and GOING…..
Former President Trump’s legal team has turned over additional classified materials to federal prosecutors in recent months, multiple outlets reported on Friday.
The additional materials, which included an empty folder with classified markings, were discovered by Trump’s attorneys at his Mar-a-Lago residence and subsequently handed over to the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to The Associated Press.
A current Trump aide’s laptop was also reportedly turned over to federal prosecutors, after it was found that the classified materials had been electronically copied onto the laptop, according to ABC News. ABC News was the first to report on the new classified materials.
The discoveries are the latest in a yearlong effort by the Justice Department to recover classified materials and other records from the former president.
The DOJ first became involved when more than 100 classified documents were discovered among boxes of records that the National Archives and Records Administration retrieved from Mar-a-Lago last January.
Trump’s attorneys turned over several more classified documents last June, in response to a subpoena from the Justice Department.

“Donald Trump’s lawyers turned over an empty manilla folder marked ‘Classified Evening Briefing’ after the US justice department issued a subpoena for its surrender once prosecutors became aware that it was located inside the private quarters of the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort,“ The Guardian reports.
“The previously unreported subpoena was issued last month, as the recently appointed special counsel escalates the inquiry into Trump’s possible unauthorized retention of national security materials and obstruction of justice.”
