Trump said the FBI found classified documents at his home because federal workers packed them.

But emails Bloomberg got show boxes were already packed when movers arrived.

Donald Trump's boxes may have already been packed when movers arrived at the White House after his presidential election loss, according to emails and documents that Bloomberg News obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Trump previously and publicly said one of the reasons the FBI found classified documents at his Palm Beach estate, Mar-A-Lago, when it was searched on August 8, 2022, was that federal workers had packed the boxes.

"They packed them," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in late September.

Kash Patel, a former defense official for Trump who handled his presidential records with the National Archives, also said the US General Services Administration workers packed boxes on a radio show on August 15, just days after the FBI executed the search warrant.

I sure as hell hope Federal workers packed the boxes...not some uncleared slob who happened to be driving the moving van.

But I see what he's doing here...blame the staff...deflect, deny, delay.

He was also known to take excessive golf vacations on workdays and blurted out stupid things on the job when he did bother to show up. He was written up twice but got out of it because of his connections. On his last day after he was fired, he stole office supplies (pictured above on pallets).
