In January 2022, the National Archive recovered 15 boxes from Trump's Florida home. Justice Department officials told that a lot of classified material was present in those boxes.

After this, when the investigators reached Trump's place, they recovered three dozen documents from there. The officers then returned to Mar-a-Lago in August 2022. This time they found more than 33 boxes and containers containing a total of 11,000 documents from a storage room and an office. There were 100 classified documents in it.
