in a storage room. this december despite one of his lawyers telling the government they ve given everything back before that search. now agents found government documents mixed in with personal items like gifts and clothing. there are also dozens of empty folders that were marked as classified. i want to bring in cnn s sara murray, political analyst laura barone lopez, and nick akerman, and also we have national security attorney bradley moss. a great panel to talk about this very important issue. i want to begin with you here, sara. you ve been going through the inventory documents from this mar-a-lago search. tell me what is standing out to you? well, i mean, certainly it s the volume. they say there are 11,000 government documents that are not classified. but also, when you dig in to the classified documents you, have you 103 documents. we re now learning that amounts to hundreds of pages in these documents. but 18 of those are top secret. 54 are secret. 31 are confident
so all levels of classification. there are also a bunch of these empty folders. some of them have classify markings on them. some say return to a staff secretary or a military aide. and as you pointed out, a lot of these documents, these classified documents are just mixed in with a whole mess of other stuff. i find that odd, that these documents would be mixed in, like some kind of a junk drawer happening, nick. some of the nation s most important secrets potentially, and again, we don t know what is in these documents. we still don t know. we know the type of document, the classification, but the fact that a document of this potential could be mixed in with clothes and gifts and press clippings, do you see possibly an innocent explanation for this? let s think about a benefit of the doubt. can one be extended? not at all. i mean, there is an absolutely no good reason for donald trump to have taken any of this. there is no justification for why he d have to use it.
