After the release of the broadest and most detailed inventory of items found at Mar-a-Lago, the folder is attracting attention.

There are 48 empty folders marked "CLASSIFIED" that were recovered from Trump's Florida property by the FBI in August.

The Good Liars shared a photo of the suspect folder at the bar days after the raid. The detailed inventory was released on Friday and the pair of people on the video sharing website retweeted it.

There is an empty folder on display at Trump Tower. The possibility that documents could be stashed in Trump Tower and his other homes was raised by Michael Cohen.

The Insider contacted the 45 Wine & Whiskey Bar but did not get a response.

The newly released inventory showed that Trump kept personal items, like photos and newspaper clippings, along with top secret documents. More than 10,000 government documents were found during the search of Mar-a-Lago.

The Presidential Records Act requires presidents to turn over their records after they leave office. The Justice Department is looking into the matter of the handling of government documents.

The possibility that Trump washoarding documents at Mar-a-Lago to use them as decorations at his hotel bar was raised on MSNBC.

There are many theories about why the former president brought so many empty files to Mar-a-Lago. "We don't know, truth is, we don't know," he said. We may never know.

Chuck Rosenberg is an attorney and a former senior FBI official. He's not sure if the folders were empty when they were taken to Mar-a-Lago or if the secret contents vanished at Trump's club.

Business Insider has an article on it.
