Trump used classified folder as bedroom lamp shade 'so he could sleep at night,'
Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys turned over more documents marked classified to federal prosecutors in December and January, CNN reports, as an investigation into whether Trump mishandled sensitive government records trudges ahead.
In December, Trump’s legal team found pages marked classified while going through boxes at his Mar-a-Lago residence, per the report. While his lawyers handed the material over to the Justice Department, a Trump aide (who works for Save America PAC) had previously copied those same pages onto a laptop and thumb drive—the aide reportedly did not realize they were classified. In January, the laptop, which belonged to the aide, and the thumb drive were handed over to investigators.
Among the previously undisclosed handovers was an empty folder marked “Classified Evening Briefing,” sources told CNN.

“...random people associated w/Trump are in possession of US Classified documents?! Can you say “Espionage Act”?
"We learned recently that Trump lawyers Christina Bobb and Evan Corcoran reportedly testified in special counsel Jack Smith’s grand jury probe into the former president’s handling of classified material at Mar-a-Lago," wrote MSNBC’s Jordan Rubin. "It’s one of the two probes Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to handle, the other being the Jan. 6 investigation, which is also progressing against the former president along with state probes in Georgia and New York."
This development, wrote Rubin, signifies that Smith, a former war crimes prosecutor at The Hague, "appears to be taking the step of determining the full extent of Trump’s potential obstruction."
As Rubin noted, a recent Wall Street Journal report on this testimony shows that Bobb — who has previously called Biden a "fake president" and claimed that malevolent forces are trying to "enslave" America — demanded Corcoran add a provision to the certification that the search for classified documents was completed that said the information was true "based upon the information that has been provided to me" — which would give her a window to blame other parties if that certification turned out to be false.
