Where Documents Were Found at Mar-a-Lago



Wow! Complete and utter disregard for America’s national security

Where Documents Were Found at Mar-a-Lago

Former President Donald J. Trump stored classified documents not only in a storage room, but also in a shower, an office, a bedroom and a ballroom, according to the indictment unsealed on Friday. It describes how Mr. Trump moved dozens of boxes containing sensitive documents out of the White House and into Mar-a-Lago, his home and private club in Palm Beach, Fla.

The indictment notes that in the time between Mr. Trump’s departure from the White House and the recovery of the documents in August 2022, Mar-a-Lago held more than 150 social events, attended by “tens of thousands of guests.”

In April 2021, Mr. Trump’s employees moved dozens of boxes from an area at Mar-a-Lago referred to in the indictment as the business center to a bathroom in what is known as the Lake Room.

“There is still a little room in the shower where his other stuff is,” one employee texted another, according to the indictment

In May 2021, according to the indictment, Mr. Trump directed his employees to clear space in a storage room to keep the boxes of documents he took from the White House. In June, boxes stored in the Lake Room were moved into the storage room, bringing the total number of boxes in that room to more than 80.

The hallway leading to the storage room was connected to a pool patio, where Mar-a-Lago club members had access, via “a doorway that was often kept open,” prosecutors said.

Anyone could have accessed these documents. Take photo copies or just steal them. Irish_Dem Jun 2023 #1
