Archives confirms Trump records at Mar-a-Lago included classified documents

Presidential record keepers confirmed Friday that there were classified national security documents among the 15 boxes recently retrieved from Mar-a-Lago as former President Trump has been directed to release his communications to the Jan. 6 House committee.

The statement from the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) comes as the House Oversight Committee last week launched a probe into Trump’s handling of presidential records — and it also confirms the agency has contacted the Justice Department.

“NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” National Archivist David Ferriero wrote in the letter.
