Trump Mar-A-Lago: FBI Reportedly Skipped A ‘Hidden Room’ And Locked Closet In Search For Documents—But Prosecutors Were Asking About Them

FBI officials who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in 2022 did not search a locked closet and “hidden room” for White House documents, ABC News reported Thursday, raising questions about whether Trump concealed more classified documents from the federal government.

Citing anonymous sources, ABC News reports FBI officials did not search a locked closet—which investigators learned after the search that Trump had changed the lock on months earlier—while his attorney searched the property for classified materials to turn over the government in response to a subpoena.

Investigators found the locked closet, but were reportedly told that the space behind the door “went nowhere” and so decided not to try and open it, according to ABC.

Officials also were not aware at the time of a “hidden room” in Trump’s bedroom, and thus did not search it, ABC reports.

Trump when his home is searched by the FBI for stolen documents:

"Oh, you don't have a key and you say there's nothing there? Cool. Well, I guess we're done here."

A black person when their home is searched for a dime bag of weed:

"Break down every single door in this entire house from the smallest cabinet to the garage door."

If you’re going to raid someone’s home, and you find evidence that they have been lying to you, why the hell would you listen them when they say “there’s nothing in this room that we keep locked?”

So bizarre.

There have been accusations that some in the FBI are Trump supporters. Wonder if that played a part

If you’re going to raid someone’s home. why the hell would you listen to a criminal.

you already know they're untrustworthy, that's why you're there in the first place.

If he kept the nuclear related documents just in the bathroom, what sort of top secret documents was he hiding in these places?

Probably the folder with the “most sensitive” intel on russia.

The one, um, that’s still missing.

Hm, I wonder if there were any tiny d sympathizers within the FBI that were involved.

Time for a pre-dawn raid on that swamp of tiny d's.

The hidden room is where he keeps his piss tapes, piss peripernalia, piss toys, piss mascots, and piss.

so much piss

Soooooo they didn't check the....back rooms?

So, the dude's got some more documents squirreled away.

Let's not forget the bigger problem here...

Not only did the FBI find thousands of illegally held documents, they found many many top secret folders without documents in them.
