Lawyers for former president Donald Trump found at least two items marked classified after an outside team hired by Trump searched a storage unit in West Palm Beach, Fla., used by the former president, according to people familiar with the matter.

Those items were turned over to the FBI, according to those people, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

The search was one of at least three searches conducted by an outside team of his properties for classified materials in recent weeks, after they were pressed by a federal judge to attest they had fully complied with a May grand jury subpoena to turn over all materials bearing classified markings, according to people familiar with the matter.

Emails released by the General Services Administration, which assists former presidents during their transition to private life, show that the government agency helped secure the storage unit at a private facility in West Palm Beach on July 21, 2021. The unit was needed to store items that had been held at an office in Northern Virginia used by Trump staffers in the months just after he left office.

The emails show that GSA and Trump staffers worked together to arrange to ship several pallets of boxes and other items weighing more than 3,000 pounds from Northern Virginia to the Florida storage unit in September 2021.

2. What a surprise!

3. I am actually surprised.

I was under an impression that the only qualification Trump's lawyers sought from the search team was to find nothing marked "classified"

4. What about other properties? Traitortrump still walks free.

5. What is truly disturbing is

Trump probably doesn't have any idea what he has or where he put it. What a chaotic shitstorm.

6. Search every property! Arrest this criminal!

7. I wonder if this "outside team" has security clearance to view these documents

8. That was my thought.

10. I have the same question.

They probably don't.

The US doesn't seem to care about national security issues.
Or the safety of the US military and intelligence communities.
