Donald Trump departs Trump Tower two days after FBI agents searched his Mar-a-Lago Palm Beach home, in New York City, New york, US, on Aug 10, 2022.WASHINGTON- The FBI recovered more than 11,000 government documents and photographs during its Aug 8 search at former President Donald Trump's Florida estate, as well as 48 empty folders labelled as "classified," according to court records that were unsealed on Friday .
Former US Attorney General William Barr, who was appointed by Trump, questioned the usefulness of such an appointment. In the interview, Barr added that he saw no "legitimate reason" for Trump having documents at his Florida estate if they were classified. It shows that documents with classification markings were at times co-mingled with other items such as books, magazines and newspaper clippings.Of the more than 11,000 government records and photos, 18 were labelled as "top secret," 54 were labelled "secret" and 31 were labelled "confidential," according to a Reuters tally of the government's inventory.
That filing, dated Aug 30, said investigators had completed a preliminary review of the materials seized and will investigate further and interview more witnesses.
