Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday sought to contrast the sensitive materials found at Mar-a-Lago with those found at President Biden’s home and former office by insisting his were “cool” keepsakes.
“These were just ordinary, inexpensive folders with various words printed on them, but they were a ‘cool’ keepsake,” Mr. Trump wrote on his social media platform. “Perhaps the Gestapo took some of these empty folders when they Raided Mar-a-Lago & counted them as a document, which they are not.”
When the FBI searched Mr. Trump’s residence, agents recovered 48 empty folders marked as containing classified materials and 42 folders that once contained documents required to be returned to “staff secretary/military aide,” according to a Justice Department inventory released last year.
