4:50 pm
he denies any wrongdoing but prosecutors say when he left office he took around 300 classified documents to mar—a—lago, his home in palm beach. thousands of those documents were then stored in boxes in very surprising locations, some of them in the ballroom at his estate, that has played home to thousands of members and guests, but also in bathrooms and showers. donald trump there on the plane making his way to miami. you are watching bbc news. these are the images at newark airport in newjersey where donald trump and his entourage are making his way onto the plane. this is as
