that bothered him, his lawyer claimed

Former President Donald Trump used an empty folder labeled "classified" to block a blue light on his nightstand that had been keeping him awake at night, one of his lawyers told CNN on Sunday.

Timothy Parlatore was responding to reports last week that claimed Trump's lawyers turned over an empty manilla folder marked "Classified Evening Briefing" to the Department of Justice last month.

The DOJ had issued a subpoena for the folder after prosecutors discovered that it was located inside the private quarters of the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, The Guardian and CNN reported.

Parlatore, who represents Trump in the investigation into the handling of classified material, confirmed that they handed over additional classified documents to the DOJ and that one of them was the folder. He added, however, that it was empty and had been used by Trump as a way to block light in his bedroom.
