A federal judge has unsealed a list of items the FBI seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a court-authorized search last month.
There are few new details in this latest development.
The list includes U.S. government documents with secret classification marking; documents and photographs without a classification marking; magazines, newspapers and articles; documents with confidential, secret and top secret markings; empty folders with classified banners; empty folders marked "return to staff secretary/military aide"; articles of clothing/gift item; and books.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has not yet ruled on Trump's request for a special master, saying she will enter a written order at some point. Over the weekend, a federal judge said she was inclined to grant Trump's request, and a hearing on the matter took place Thursday, but it is now unclear when that decision will come.

Taking a quick look...
Aside from the other important Confidential, Top Secret and Classified items the FBI seized.... it seems like Trump is hiding, gave away, lost or misplaced lots of stashes of classified documents that were previously in Classified folders.
Edit:
I forgot to include the possibility of the classified documents being intentionally destroyed or sold by Trump.
Edit 2:
I added the item numbers to the side to make them easier to find if you're browsing the list.

Empty folders with CLASSIFIED banners. What was in them? Where are these documents now?
