When the FBI searched Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022, they found classified documents squirreled away in a storage room, a ballroom, a bedroom, Trump’s office, and a bathroom. But according to sources who recently spoke to ABC News, it seems that the FBI team missed at least two rooms in their search, and special counsel Jack Smith has been asking witnesses what they know about these rooms.
One of these rooms is reportedly a closet. Missing a closet in a 126-room, 62,500-square-foot mansion located on 17 acres of land, with numerous outbuildings, seems understandable, even for a well-organized search. But there’s more to this than just an overlooked closet. According to ABC’s sources, that closet wasn’t just locked on the day the FBI came to call; two months before the FBI’s search, Trump had the locks changed on the closet and personally took the key to the new lock.
The second room overlooked by the FBI could be even more intriguing. It’s reportedly a “hidden room” accessible through Trump’s bedroom. Considering that the indictment against him in this case states that classified documents were found in “his bedroom,” it certainly seems that FBI agents may have wanted to search this location.
What was in the two missed rooms? The short answer is: We don’t know. But Smith seems to be highly interested.
