A 'coat hanger' could unlock Mar-a-Lago storage room where Trump stored classified docs: Witness
(NEW YORK) -- A coat hanger or "very tiny screwdriver" could be used to unlock the Mar-a-Lago storage room where former President Donald Trump stored highly classified documents for more than a year, according to a witness in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation. The account was relayed to FBI agents by an unidentified aide to Trump in January 2023, according to newly released exhibits, and further undercuts claims by Trump that the highly-classified materials he's accused of taking with him after leaving office were secured at all times. The transcript of the interview was released as part of an ongoing effort by Trump and his co-defendants to make additional evidence gathered by Special Counsel Smith public. Investigators were told by the witness that in summer of 2021 the storage room door had a knob "with a pinhole" that visitors could lock from the inside via a push button.
