Axios reports:
Former President Trump’s attorneys found classified documents in his bedroom four months after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, per court documents unsealed Tuesday.
The judge wrote in an 87-page opinion that, “Notably, no excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.”
A witness scanned the contents of the box containing the classified materials and stored them on a laptop in her possession owned by Trump’s Save America PAC, according to a footnote in the opinion.
Read the full article. An earlier report on today’s unsealing noted that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith suspects Trump of “additional attempts at obstructing the investigation.”

NOTABLE: Howell’s opinion was actually unsealed because Trump’s lawyers appended it to their claim of prosecutorial misconduct — citing this footnote in which Howell quotes a procedural text. https://t.co/RLKpf7LS7p pic.twitter.com/lkcrSG6GTz
