WASHINGTON
\nA list of items seized from Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home was released revealing the chaotic ways in which thousands of important records were stored by the former president.
\nAccording to foreign media, the list, unsealed by a federal judge overseeing Trump\u2019s lawsuit seeking a special master to review the records, details how classified and unclassified items intermingled among newspaper and magazine clippings, clothing and other personal items in Trump\u2019s storage.
\nOver 40 empty folders labeled as \u2018classified\u2019 were also found at Trump\u2019s Florida estate during the August 8 search. While the latest release reveals general details about the content of the 33 boxes taken from the former president\u2019s possession, it does not provide clarity on the content of the records. According to the inventory list, there were over 10,000 government records without classified markings seized earlier this month. The bungled contents of the raid also included 31 confidential documents, 54 \u2018secret\u2019 documents and 11 \u2018top secret\u2019 documents, USA Today reported.
\nAn additional 48 empty folders with \u2018classified banners\u2019 and 42 folders marked with \u2018return to staff secretary\/military aide\u2019 were also taken, as well as 11,000 government documents or pictures without classified markings, nearly 1,673 magazine and newspaper clippings, 19 articles of clothing or gift items and 33 books.
\nUS District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the release of the more detailed inventory to be unsealed during a hearing Thursday following Trump\u2019s request to have a special master review what the FBI had seized from his property.
\nTrump\u2019s legal team has argued that Cannon should appoint the third party judge to ensure an independent review of what was taken from Mar-a-Lago. Alternatively, attorneys for the Justice Department say that appointing a special master would hinder their probe into whether Trump kept national security documents in his home illegally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
