FBI officials who searched former President Donald Trumpā€™s Mar-A-Lago estate in 2022 did not search a locked closet and ā€œhidden roomā€ 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 closetā€”which investigators learned after the search that Trump had changed the lock on months earlierā€”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 ā€œwent nowhereā€ and so decided not to try and open it, according to ABC.

Officials also were not aware at the time of a ā€œhidden roomā€ in Trumpā€™s bedroom, and thus did not search it, ABC reports.

    This also applies if youā€™re not American. Iā€™m white as fuck but that didnā€™t stop the state trooper from having us stand on the side of the road for 45 minutes while he searched our car cause it smelled like weed (it was a new car, never had weed in it). I canā€™t imagine what wouldā€™ve happened if we werenā€™t white. American cops are just fucking cunts. ACAB.
