FBI Reportedly Missed 'Hidden Room' During Mar-A-Lago Document Search
HuffPost
Trump's estate might still contain documents, according to ABC News.
In its search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the FBI might have missed several rooms, including a closet and a “hidden room” in Donald Trump’s residence.
That’s according to a new ABC News report that suggests more documents may still be at Trump’s Florida estate, almost two years after federal officials recovered more than 300 files from Trump’s possession, some of them highly sensitive.
One of the rooms, a closet, was locked on the day of the search. When FBI agents couldn’t readily find the key, they opted not to break it open.
Sources told ABC they believe Trump had the lock changed while an attorney he’d hired was occupied in another part of the property, looking for documents there. Prior to the search, Trump’s lawyers testified that they’d turned over all of the sensitive documents in Trump’s possession ― a claim that turned out to be false.
Trump also had a “hidden room” adjacent to his bedroom that went un-searched, sources told ABC. A small door leading to the room was reportedly concealed that day “by a large dresser and a big TV.”
