The Washington Post, which first reported on the additional classified documents, adds, "emails show that GSA [the federal General Services Administration] and Trump staffers worked together to arrange to ship several pallets of boxes and other items weighing more than 3,000 pounds from Northern Virginia to the Florida storage unit in September 2021."

The GSA worked with the Trump team to help "secure the storage unit at a private facility in West Palm Beach on July 21, 2021," which is 18 months after Trump left office.

"People familiar with the matter said the storage unit had a mix of boxes, gifts, suits and clothes, among other things. 'It was suits and swords and wrestling belts and all sorts of things,' this person said. 'To my knowledge, he has never even been to that storage unit. I don’t think anyone in Trump world could tell you what’s in that storage unit.'"

As The Post notes, the existence of additional classified material, outside the ex-president's Florida home, "indicates Mar-a-Lago was not the only place where Trump kept classified material. It also provides further evidence that Trump and his team did not fully comply with a May grand jury subpoena that sought all documents marked classified still in possession of the post-presidential office."

Trump lawyers found classified items at a storage unit GSA arranged for Trump in Florida, turning them over to the FBI. Trump sources say items were packed in No. Va, sent down & Trump had no idea what was there, but they had to get in there somehow? https://t.co/t2h1wLcEIk

There were reportedly *more* classified documents still in Trump’s possession in a storage unit.

It appears that Trump’s own team doesn’t have a good handle on all the government documents in his possession, despite a criminal investigation. Astounding. https://t.co/nOyg6Y3oyG

I see a very large number of search warrants in Trump's future. As well as subpoeanas for testimony by several people about what was shipped from the White House, and where. And then more search warrants.

People close to the former president had insisted earlier Wednesday that no classified material had been found at any of the facilities. One person close to Trump previously insisted he didn’t have the storage facility anymore. https://t.co/9lC3iE8Oz5

Yup. A lot more.

And a reminder that Trump has no one to blame but himself:

3. Reminder that since at least early October, one of the reasonable new attorneys on the case, Christopher Kise, advised setting up this kind of firm to search for such documents.👇

But he was rebuffed by Trump team, and then sidelined from MAL defense. https://t.co/utC3bS0XUu
