Newly released photos from FBI's Mar-a-Lago search show Trump keepsakes alongside sensitive records

Washington — Newly revealed photographs taken by the FBI during its August 2022 search of former President Donald Trump's South Florida resort shed further light on how the former president kept keepsakes from his time in office alongside documents bearing classification markings.
The photos, some of which had not been publicly released, were included as exhibits accompanying a Monday court filing from special counsel Jack Smith in the ongoing federal case against Trump in South Florida. Prosecutors have accused the former president of mishandling records containing the nation's secrets after leaving the White House in January 2021 and obstructing the Justice Department's investigation.
Trump was charged with 40 counts, including the unlawful retention of national defense information, and has pleaded not guilty. His presidential campaign did not immediately return a request for comment on Smith's latest filing.
