The Justice Department Friday filed a more detailed list of documents taken in its raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, including dozens of classified documents and folders with classified markings. 

Also included was a wide assortment of other items, including over 1,000 documents that did not have classified markings, several "Article of Clothing/Gift Item" entries and hundreds of printed news articles. 

The list was released per an order from Florida federal Judge Aileen M. Cannon, as she weighs whether to appoint a "special master" to check the documents for potential executive privilege.  

The document includes little that was unexpected. A different federal judge unsealed a less detailed property receipt last month which showed that the FBI took several boxes of documents from Trump's property, which included "Various classified/TS/SCI documents." Trump, meanwhile, has complained publicly that the FBI took documents and items allegedly unrelated to its investigation.
