Not from the search in August. And I'll bet that the August documents are far more important than the earlier ones. They would have had time to go through all of documents and give up the least important ones in January.

(45,774 posts)It justified the August search.
Now, if the DOJ wanted to return to MAL for more searching, the August bounty would be referenced in a new Affidavit.

(7,153 posts)My translation:
When they went through the 15 boxes sent in January to NARA, they found 184 classified documents.
Then Thump refused to render any documents still present secured.
The August search may have turned up more concerning information, BUT we don't know yet (and might never).

(10,110 posts)When Hillary's emails were looked at only 3 were poorly marked as classified at the time of sending or receiving. The other 110 became classified after they were reviewed.
Trump never played by the rules.
Beyond the 11 sets of classified documents reportedly found on Aug 8th, there are bound to be other documents in his records that should have been marked classified.
About 700 pages of classified were found in 184 classified documents (not sets, per FBI search warrant) in the 15 boxes sent to National Archives in Jan 2022.

I've seen rough estimates that what they got in August 8th will double the documents marked classified that were recovered from Trump. That would take us to 1400 pages.
Documents in Trump's possession that should be marked classified will be likely to take them to very roughly over 2,000 pages of classified documents that were illegally in Trump's possession.
