Did Donald Trump REALLY Leave A ‘Classified’ Folder At Tower Bar? In the wake of the raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, federal investigators examining Trump's handling of classified records have turned their gaze to other properties in his extensive portfolio, including Trump Tower. According to sources who spoke with Rolling Stone, the FBI has asked a number of witnesses if they know of any highly sensitive government documents stashed at Trump's Manhattan high-rise or transferred to other Trump properties from his Mar-a-Lago estate. Agents also made inquiries about the former president's Bedminster private club in New Jersey. While no searches have been carried out at this time, a number of documents openly displayed in Trump Tower have raised some eyebrows..

New book details how McCarthy came to support Trump after Jan. 6 The Republican House leader berated a member of his conference, leading her to cry, in a previously unreported meeting as he wrestled with fallout from Jan. 6, 2021 By Marianna Sotomayor October 11, 2022 at 5:00 a.m. EDT https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/11/kevin-mccarthy-jan-6-trump-book/ excerpt: “Republicans were coming to him, seeking answers on whether they should vote to impeach the president. McCarthy didn’t know what to tell them. How could he turn on Trump when he needed him to land his dream job someday — yet how could he corral his rank and file into opposing impeachment when he knew Trump was guilty,” the authors write.

US justice department urges supreme court to reject Trump appeal on Mar-a-Lago documents excerpt: "The US justice department has asked the US supreme court to reject Donald Trump’s attempt to re-include 103 documents with classification markings in the special master review that is examining whether materials the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort are protected by privilege. The justice department argued in a 34-page brief that the supreme court should reject the former president’s motion and keep the 103 documents out of the special master’s purview since Trump did not show he was being irreparably harmed and that his arguments about jurisdiction lacked merit. “He does not acknowledge, much less attempt to rebut, the court of appeals’ conclusion that the district court’s order was a serious and unwarranted intrusion on the Executive Branch’s authority to control the use and distribution of extraordinarily sensitive government records,” the justice department wrote. “The application should be denied.” The filing – submitted by the US solicitor general on behalf of the justice department – was the latest turn in what began as an effort by Trump to slow down the criminal investigation into possible retention of national defense information that has expanded into a fraught legal battle."
Exclusive: McConnell ignores Trump's attacks and says 'I have the votes' in quest to make history | CNN Politics excerpt: "It’s become a throwaway line at former President Donald Trump’s campaign rallies: GOP senators must boot Mitch McConnell from the leadership position he’s held longer than any Republican in American history. But McConnell has a message. “I have the votes,” the Senate GOP leader said bluntly, indicating he’s locked down enough support to claim a new feat: The longest-serving Senate party leader ever, a record held by Democrat Mike Mansfield for more than four decades and which McConnell would surpass in the next Congress. Yet whether he’s in the minority or majority next year – and if he continues to serve as GOP leader after 2024 – are different questions altogether."
The Trump team's many claims on classified documents at Mar-a-Lago • Missouri Independent excerpt: 1) These documents were taken by accident in the January chaos 2) These documents were planted by the FBI 3) Trump was just bringing his work home, like so many hard-working Americans 4) Other presidents took home classified documents 5) These documents were declassified by Trump
More excuses by Trump: The General Services Administration packed the document boxes at the White House. Bush, Clinton, and Obama supposedly mishandled government documents and worse than Trump. Trump was exercising his (perceived) right to negotiate with the National Archives for what he had already kept and didn't want to return. Trump needed the documents as bargaining chips to obtain government documents related to the Russia investigation in 2016 that he wanted. The Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago was securing the documents he had taken.
