In total, the boxes were found to contain 184 documents with classified markings, including 67 marked confidential, 92 secret and 25 top secret. Agents who inspected the boxes also found special markings suggesting they included information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic"signals" authorized by a court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Trump's Save America PAC released another statement insisting,"The National Archives did not 'find' anything," but"were given, upon request, Presidential Records in an ordinary and routine process to ensure the preservation of my legacy and in accordance with the Presidential Records Act."
