Discovery of more than 11,000 photos and government documents from Trump’s residence
The documents provide more details about the 33 boxes discovered at Trump’s residence. New documents show that documents labeled confidential were sometimes mixed with other items such as books, magazines and newspaper clippings.
According to reports, District Court Judge Ellen Cannon has agreed to release the documents. Reuters reported that out of 11,000 government documents and photos, 18 were labeled top secret, 54 were labeled secret, and 31 were labeled confidential.
“Top Secret” is the highest level of classification and is used for the most sensitive government documents.
There were also 90 empty folders, 48 of which were labeled as classified, and it is unclear why these folders were empty and whether some documents may have been missing.
Previously, the US Department of Justice announced that among the documents discovered from the former US President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida, there are also documents from the day after Washington withdrew from the nuclear deal with Iran (JCPOA).
According to American media reports, the US Department of Justice announced that government documents kept at Trump’s residence in Florida were probably hidden and deleted in order to prevent the FBI’s investigation.
According to these reports, the new documents presented new evidence of prosecutors that Trump and his legal team obstructed justice, accusing Trump’s lawyers for the first time about the alleged delivery of all government documents after Trump left the White House. They have lied.
In 2018, former hard-line US President Donald Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal signed by the Obama administration and Iran, describing the JCPOA as “the worst deal in American history”.
According to the “New York Times” newspaper, April D. Haynes, the director of national intelligence, announced in a letter to the representatives that his agency is conducting the necessary investigations for the national security of the United States regarding sensitive documents and possible risks arising from the management of documents obtained from Donald Trump’s residence in Florida.
The letter sent by the Director of National Intelligence to the members of the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives, while the senior members of this House on August 13 (22 August) demanded an immediate review and assessment of the damage to the confidential documents that were obtained following the inspection of Trump’s residence in Mar- A-Lago was obtained. .
The US Department of Justice has released a redacted version of the affidavit used for the Mar-a-Lago search warrant that revealed Trump removed boxes of highly classified documents after leaving office.
Before the federal police raided the Trump residence in Florida, the National Archives and the Department of Justice made a huge effort to recover these top secret documents.
In January, the National Archives collected 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago, and after an FBI review of the boxes, it was determined that a total of 184 documents were labeled classified and 25 were sealed top secret by Trump. They have left the White House.
