image for Classified Docs Found at Trump Storage Unit With ‘Swords and Wrestling Belts’

The documents allegedly made their way into the storage unit as part of a 3,000-pound transport of miscellaneous items shipped from Virginia to Florida.

It was full of “suits and swords and wrestling belts and all sorts of things,” a source told the Post, who asserted Trump had likely never even been to the unit.

Sources told the Post that the material was turned over to the FBI, which had declined to supervise the searches.

Those familiar with the ongoing investigation also indicated to the Post that classified materials were not recovered from searches conducted at the Bedminster club and Trump Tower.

Prosecutors investigating claims from the National Archives that Trump retained hundreds of classified documents without authorization when he departed from the White House have remain unconvinced that the former president turned over all classified material.
