CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS: “A lawyer for former President Donald Trump shared a surprising explanation for what Trump was doing at his Mar-a-Lago resort with a folder bearing ‘classified’ wording that was recently turned over to federal investigators.

The lawyer, Tim Parlatore, was asked in a CNN interview Sunday about what he said was an empty folder labeled “classified evening summary” that was given to investigators…

‘He has one of those landline telephones next to his bed, and it has a blue light on it, and it keeps him up at night,’ Parlatore said. ‘So he took the manila folder and he put it over it so that it would keep the light down so he could sleep at night.'”
