Trump kept classified documents in Mar-a-Lago bathroom and ballroom, indictment says

apnews.com...

The article has a link to the unsealed charges; 49 pages, 37 felony charges. I suggest we all read through it all. An occasion like this deserves first hand knowledge.

Here is what Special Counsel Jack Smith had to say today:

The Justice Department special counsel who filed charges against Trump says in his first public statement that the country has “one set of laws and they apply to everyone” while he outlined the charges against the former president.

Jack Smith spoke to reporters briefly in Washington on Friday but did not take questions.

“Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice and our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world,” Smith said.

He said prosecutors would seek a speedy trial and “very much look forward” to presenting their case.

There is also much new information in the unsealed document, such as:

The indictment alleges Trump kept classified documents in the bathroom and shower at his Florida estate, as well as various other locations that included a ballroom, storeroom, office and bedroom.

The indictment claims that, for a two-month period, some of Trump’s boxes were stored in one of Mar-a-Lago’s gilded ballrooms. A picture included in the indictment shows boxes stacked in rows on the ballroom’s stage.

The indictment also shows photographs of boxes that spilled over in the storage room, including a document marked SECRET/REL TO USA, FVEY” which means information releasable only to members of the intelligence alliance of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. In the photo the classified document is redacted.

The attorney told federal authorities that he discussed the folder of classified material with Trump and how the material should be handled. The attorney told authorities that as they discussed the attorney taking the materials with him, Trump gestured in a way that suggested he wanted the attorney to identify “anything really bad” and “you know, pluck it out.” The lawyer clarified that Trump did not articulate such instructions beyond making that “plucking motion.”

Trump's aid Walt Nauta, the aid that moved the boxes of classified documents, has also been indicted today in connection with Trump's charges. This one is going to be difficult for Trump to dodge, considering his own attorneys have already cooperated and shared what he asked of them.

Trump is innocent until proven guilty, but no one is above the law.

The indictment unsealed Friday also says that, unaware of any records being moved, Trump’s attorney on June 2, 2022, identified 38 documents with “classified” markings and placed them in a folder, which he sealed with clear duct tape handed to him by Trump valet Walt Nauta. The valet then took the attorney to see the former president.

Trump also allegedly indicated to an attorney to "pluck out" any bad classified documents before turning them over to the authorities.
