The legal team representing former President Donald Trump turned over additional documents with classified markings and a laptop to federal prosecutors.
Sources familiar with the investigation told CNN that the previously undisclosed handovers, which happened in December and January, included documents with classified markings that were found while searching through Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
A folder with classification markings and a laptop belonging to a current aide to the former president were handed to federal agents, sources told ABC News.
