Archives told Trump in April that FBI would examine more than 100 classified documents returned from Mar-a-Lago - The Washington Post
"As the Department of Justice's National Security Division explained to you on April 29, 2022: 'There are important national security interests in the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community getting access to these materials. According to NARA, among the materials in the boxes are over 100 documents with classification markings, comprising more than 700 pages.
