Trump personally chose to keep documents containing some of the nation’s most highly guarded secrets in cardboard boxes along with a collection of other personally chosen keepsakes of various sizes and shapes from his presidency—newspapers, thank you notes, Christmas ornaments, magazines, clothing, and photographs of himself and others. At the end of his presidency, he took his cluttered collection of keepsakes to Mar-a-Lago, his personal residence and social club, where the boxes traveled from one readily accessible location to another—a public ballroom, an office space, a bathroom, and a basement storage room. After they landed in stacks in the storage room, several boxes fell and splayed their contents on the floor; and boxes were moved to Trump’s residence on more than one occasion so he could review and pick through them.
Against this backdrop of the haphazard manner in which Trump chose to maintain his boxes, he now claims that the precise order of the items within the boxes when they left the White House was critical to his defense, and, what’s more, that FBI agents executing the search warrant in August 2022 should have known that.
I wonder if his lawyers don’t object to this characterization of Mar-a-lago the local zoning folks could actually use this to help make him stop living there. Drives me nuts this parasite gets to live rent-free in his little bullshit fiefdom in paradise where anyone else would have the screws put them by local busybodies…
Like what is actually stopping them from kicking his ass to the curb? I’ve read before he can’t live there, its literally zoned as a social club for taxation-related advantageous reasons that is supposed to have the caveat that it not be a residence for him in the way he uses it…
Since he moved in long ago, he’s been a pain to the locals. I remember flying in and out of Palm Beach and you had to take different routes because Donnie complained. That was well before he was President. Word was he’d sue because he didn’t like the noise. He locked a lot of peo0le up in court, so the city gave up.
