Trump FBI raid: DOJ releases more details on documents taken from Mar-a-Lago
List includes classified documents, empty folders with classified markings
By David Spunt , Bill Mears , Tyler Olson | Fox News
The Justice Department Friday filed a more detailed list of documents taken in its raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, including dozens of classified documents and folders with classified markings.
Also included was a wide assortment of other items, including over 1,000 documents that did not have classified markings, several "Article of Clothing/Gift Item" entries and hundreds of printed news articles.
The list was released per an order from Florida federal Judge Aileen M. Cannon, as she weighs whether to appoint a "special master" to check the documents for potential executive privilege.
The document includes little that was unexpected. A different federal judge unsealed a less detailed property receipt last month which showed that the FBI took several boxes of documents from Trump's property, which included "Various classified/TS/SCI documents." Trump, meanwhile, has complained publicly that the FBI took documents and items allegedly unrelated to its investigation.
However, the Friday filing does underscore the massive amount of material the government took from Mar-a-Lago, including many documents that were apparently the property of the U.S. government.
The Presidential Records Act technically gives authority and control over that material to the National Archives immediately upon the president leaving office. It is unclear why these non-classified government records remained at the resort, and were not turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration as required by law, and why they were not voluntarily turned over by the Trump team in January, along with about 15 boxes of presidential records in an initial transfer.
It is also not clear why investigators seized items labeled "Article of Clothing/Gift Item." In all, the DOJ said it took 18 such items.

Gee,I wonder how much stuff they planted in the seizures once they had it all in their possession?
After all,THEY are the only ones that did and controlled the inventory,and THEY are the only ones that have access to all those documents and the sign-out sheets.
Which means they can "salt" what they seized with any "evidence" they need to convict him of several felonies.
This is especially true when it is the DNC that controls the federal courts now.
240B:
The FBI/DOJ is so thoroughly corrupted and is so infested with Trump HATE, there is no way to trust anything they claim to have 'found' at Mar-a-Lago. There is no way to know if they discovered it there or if they brought it with them to 'find'.
Since they excluded any kind of impartial oversight, including Trump's lawyers, everything they claim must be taken on faith. "You just have to take our word for it", coming from an extremely hostile organization does not satisfy any legal standards.

Feds Seized Dozens Of Trump’s “Clothing/Gift Items,” Books, and Hundreds Of Magazine Clippings In Mar-a-Lago Raid, Per Updated Inventory
It does not appear the feds are willing to return these items. The Court or a Special Master should order them returned.

The search warrant in the Mar-a-Lago Raid was so overly broad that it allowed the feds to rummage through vast areas of the complex and to seize almost anything in sight.
That reading of the warrant is confirmed now that the Judge has unsealed the Investigative Team Status Review And Detailed Inventory that the Court had required under its prior Preliminary Order.
The investigative team status report as of August 30, reflects, among other things:
As of the date of this filing, the investigative team has completed a preliminary review
of the materials seized pursuant to the search warrant executed on August 8, 2022, with the
exception of any potentially attorney-client privileged materials that, pursuant to the filter
protocols set forth in the search warrant affidavit, have not been provided to the investigative
team. The documents bearing classification markings that were seized during the execution
of the search warrant have been segregated from the remainder of the seized materials and are being separately stored in accordance with the appropriate procedures governing the
security of classified material….
That said, the government can confirm for the Court that the investigative
team has already examined every item seized ( other than materials that remain subject to the
filter protocols), even as its investigation and further review continues….
In other words, the feds reviewed everything seized, with potentially privileged documents reviewed by a Privilege Review Team.
Attached to the report was the detailed inventory required to be filed per court order. It’s not very detailed, it doesn’t tell us what any of it was about. For example, were the classified document pertaining the Crossfire Hurricane, the feds investigation of the Trump campaign, which Trump previously declassified just before leaving office.
