Source: Ministry of Justice FBI agents found four dozen empty document folders marked “TRAVELED” when they raided former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club residence, a court file unsealed Friday revealed recently. Agents found 43 of those blank, labeled folders classified in Trump’s office, according to the Justice Department’s filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The remaining five empty envelopes with this marking were found in containers in a warehouse. The FBI also found another 42 blank folders marked “Return to Department of Staff/Military [sic] Ide,” during the Aug. 8 raid, which was authorized to seek government documents removed from the White House when Trump left office in January 2021, the filing said. Twenty-eight of those empty folders were found in Trump’s office, while another 14 were in a warehouse elsewhere, the document shows. And FBI agents found more than 10,000 unclassified government documents and photos, the filing shows. The bombshell revelations raise the prospect that the Justice Department has yet to recover the documents that would have been in the empty files. On Tuesday, the Justice Department told another court that more than 100 classified documents were found at Mar-a-Lago. Two court documents related to the FBI raid that were filed earlier this week by the Justice Department were unsealed Friday. One shows a detailed inventory of the confiscated items. The other gives the status of preliminary review of these elements. The public release of those documents came a day after Judge Eileen Cannon said she would unseal them. The Justice Department filed the documents earlier this week The asset list of the seized items lists several US government documents marked “confidential”, “secret” and “top secret”. A less detailed proof of ownership was released days after the raid as an attachment to the search warrant the FBI used to enter this private club in Palm Beach, Florida. That asset receipt noted that the government seized 11 sets of classified documents, as well as an executive pardon involving Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and Trump confidant. But the receipt offered few other details about the contents of the 20 boxes taken in the raid. The other document unsealed Friday is titled “Status Review Task Force Notice” and was signed by U.S. Attorney Juan Gonzalez and Jay Bratt, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division’s counterintelligence and export control division. Department. “The seized materials will continue to be used to further the government’s investigation, and the investigative team will continue to use and evaluate the seized materials as it takes further investigative steps, such as through additional interviews and grand jury practice,” the statement said. “It is important to note that the ‘review’ of seized materials is not a single investigative step, but rather an ongoing process in this active criminal investigation,” the document states. The Justice Department is investigating possible crimes related to the removal of these and other government documents from the White House when Trump leaves office in January 2021. By law, such records must be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration.

Trump has asked Cannon to appoint an independent watchdog, known as a special master, to review the items seized in the search before the Justice Department is allowed to continue using the documents in the investigation. Trump’s lawyers said a special master could review whether certain documents would be barred from being used in the investigation because they are protected by either attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. The DOJ has opposed the appointment of a special master, saying it would delay the investigation and that Trump does not possess the documents. Cannon, during a Florida court hearing on that dispute on Thursday, said it would rule on the special master claim in “due course.” Cannon, a Trump appointee, previously shared her “preliminary intention” to grant Trump’s request for a special master. The judge suggested at Thursday’s hearing that she was still considering that appointment, news outlets reported.
