Trump kept classified documents mixed with personal belongings in the boxes seized by the FBI earlier this summer.
This is evident from the inventory list released by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
One of the 33 seized boxes contained documents marked as "confidential", "secret" and "top secret" mixed with about a hundred magazines, newspapers and press articles, writes CNN, which published the inventory list in its entirety.
Other boxes contained classified documents mixed with press clippings, clothing and gifts.
18 top secret documents
The document also shows how many documents of the various security classes were seized.
It concerns 18 documents marked as top secret, 54 documents marked as secret and 31 documents marked as confidential.
The FBI also seized 48 empty folders with classified security markings, reports CNN.
From the previously published search warrant, it appears that the FBI is, among other things, investigating crimes against the Espionage Act.
The suspicions do not concern direct espionage, but the collection, dissemination or loss of classified material.
Trump's lawyers say the documents in question are no longer classified.
This when Trump himself is supposed to have raised the security classification before he left the White House.
