DOJ officials were alarmed by surveillance footage of the Mar-a-Lago room where classified info was being stored, report says
[INSIDER] Federal agents were prompted to request a warrant to search Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate after reviewing new footage of a hallway outside a storage facility where classified information was being kept, The New York Times reported.

The Times reported Tuesday that the National Archives and Records Administration, which stores records from past presidential administrations, had contacted Trump's legal team earlier this year after discovering that key documents were missing from the Trump administration's records.

The president's team had handed over several boxes of materials in January. Justice Department then returned to Mar-a-Lago in June to collect several more documents that had been marked as classified, which had not been handed back following the original request.

Having obtained surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago via a subpoena, agents saw something that alarmed them in recordings of a hallway outside a storage room, The Times reported, citing people familiar with the investigation.

The agents also received evidence from a witness that there was more classified material remaining in the storage room, The Times reported.

The report did not specify what officials saw in the footage.

#2 Yes this will be like when there was 'improper storage' of nuclear material in oak ridge when the so called inspector reported them for storing the boxes 23 inches apart instead of 21, which was really the minimum distance. He decided to make the regulation be 21 inches no more no less than that a minimum of 21 inches cause then he can claim improper storage and regulation violations for being MORE SAFE than required.

#3 The longer it drags out, the more it looks like Trump entrapped the FBI by putting on a dog n pony show in the hallway and probably feeding bad information to an FBI mole.

They stepped on their d*cks and now they have to unwind it and save face.

#4 ^^ Might have even used old file boxes that still had 'TS/SCI' labels on them (recycling like most private businesses have to), but now holding family photo albums, gas receipts, Barron's kindergarten artwork or something.

#5 Barron's kindergarten artwork or something.

#6 "Steganography? Or just a kid's artwork?"

"Well, it looks like a poorly-drawn Stegosaurus to me. Let's pass it on to the crypto boys at the CIA and leak to the media that we found "encrypted communications."
