New classified documents found in Trump’s storage facility

A U.S. official confirmed to CBS News that representatives of former President Donald Trump notified the FBI after discovering additional potentially sensitive documents in a West Palm Beach, Florida, storage facility.

More than 300 documents with classified markings have been discovered at Trump properties so far this year, and two more were found inside a sealed box. The FBI has been given access to the documents.

The information is the first to suggest that Trump properties may have housed or may have held classified materials.

The searches by Trump representatives were conducted around Thanksgiving at three other locations — the former president’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump Tower in New York and in a storage facility at Mar-a-Lago in Florida — according to The Washington Post, which first reported the story.

It comes at a time of growing legal peril for the former president.

The FBI seized 33 boxes of records on Aug. 8 during the execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, including records that were supposed to be in the hands of the National Archives.

Last month, the Justice Department appointed special counsel Jack Smith to oversee the growing probe into those documents.

Trump has downplayed the importance of the seizures, but critics say his alleged mishandling of the records could have allowed highly sensitive material to fall into the wrong hands.

“The disregard and disdain for legal norms and rules simply cannot be accepted from anyone,” said Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “No one is above the law.”
