Trump’s attorneys’ team then commissioned an outside firm to investigate four locations linked to Trump: his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump Tower in New York, and a warehouse in Mar-a-Lago and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Earlier in the day, people accompanying Trump reported that nothing had been found. But the Washington Post and The New York Times are now writing that a locked box containing two classified documents was found in that last warehouse. The US government leased this site to Trump, who kept boxes, gifts, and clothes there, among other things.
