This was unkown publicly….
But has leaked out in the quiet back and forth in the ex-President’s Florida Federal criminal case with the Justice Dept. Specail Councel’s Office..
The court appointed overseer (A Federal Judge) of the classified material found out a year after the inbtial FBI raid that more files where in the Trump Mar-a-Lago home.
And wrote a scathing report against Trump’s criminal liabilities….
The judge felt Trump was lying to his attorney’s about the turning over of ALL files….
Additional classified records were discovered in former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bedroom after the FBI search of his Florida estate, court records filed Tuesday reveal.
The detail is buried in filings stemming from a separate legal battle as Trump asks a judge to toss his indictment for prosecutorial misconduct, unsealing for the first time many of the records at play as prosecutors presented their case to a D.C. grand jury.
That includes a decision from Judge Beryl Howell, who oversaw those proceedings, which indicates Trump was subpoenaed again in January of 2023, prompting his attorneys to later turn over a “mostly empty folder marked ‘Classified Evening Summary.’”
She expressed disbelief at how Trump could be unaware of classified records still in his home well after the August 2022 search of his property.
“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,” Howell wrote.
It’s another remarkable detail in a case where classified records were found in numerous locations that alarmed prosecutors, including a ballroom stage and even a bathroom.
The newly unsealed opinion follows a push by special counsel Jack Smith to secure further testimony from Trump attorney Evan Corcoran along with 88 pages of his own records he said were protected by attorney-client privilege.
Howell spends ample time reviewing Trump’s legal culpability, including the obstruction of justice charges that would accompany those for willfully retaining classified records.
She also reflects on his role in concealing information from his attorney and encouraging his now co-defendant Walt Nauta to return to the storage room boxes they moved to hide them from Corcoran without being caught on camera…..
Note…
The problem with THIS case IS the Federal Judge overseeing it….
