Does Trump still have classified documents?

I wonder if the National Archives and FBI are 100 percent sure that Trump no longer has any classified documents in his possession.

If he is still hiding top secret documents or mishandled them that's still a huge threat to our national security.

I'm convinced the FBI probably wanted to conduct further searches of his properties but feared more political blowback from the MAGA crazies.

Is for Jack Smith to indict Trump and then execute a search warrant at all his properties to make sure there's zero classified materials.

Trump took them to use them for personal gain. He still gets an ego boost knowing he has them. He can show them to people he needs to impress, he can show them to prospective future business partners, including foreign governments, he can show them to political donors and others as an indication what he can, and will provide to them, if re-elected. He can use the most sensitive info as a bargaining chip against prosecution (threaten to release for prosecutorial negotiations- we might be talking National Security info that could do great harm to this country).

The Feds need to search all his properties including the ones overseas to make sure there are none left. Trump has proven time and time again he cannot be trusted.

There are undoubtedly digital copies of everything he stole out there somewhere, maybe many many copies of each top secret document.

writing down what the words are, typing them, or a voice recording of what they contain are effective work arounds. These can be filed or stored anywhere making finding them a herculean task. At this point keeping the classified documents or photocopies of them would be foolish, but we are discussing Trump...

Trump can't help it. He loves money too much and sees it as his golden opportunity. Betcha he has originals and some of them photocopied and hidden away somewhere.

It truly blows my mind that they would be so careless as to give a secret document to anyone and not track if it was given back or where exactly it is.

How many were scanned to thumb drives? Who else has seen some of our most dangerous secrets. Perhaps a little quality time on the waterboard would provide some answers. I bet Ron would be willing to revive his old trade.

I'm more interested in how weakly we approach the wealthy in this country. IMO, he ain't gone down yet because there's too many that don't want increased scrutiny on the rich in this dystopian mess. "That could be me (or mine)!" sounds about right.

the country. One for them and one for the rest of us. They get a "you did a bad thing shame on you" while the lower tier gets jail or death.
