Former President Donald Trump had even more classified documents hidden away in his bedroom — four months after the FBI executed their search at Mar-a-Lago.

The revelation, spelled out in newly-released court filings, caused an eruption from observers on social media.

"Crimes on top of crimes," wrote music producer Shawn Patterson.

"In my observation, not even the anti-anti-Trumpers defend the 'documents case.' (The outright Trumpers, sure. With them, the Fifth Avenue Principle applies.)" wrote Jay Nordlinger, an editor for the conservative National Review.

"Utter disregard shown for US security," wrote Doug Thompson of the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Other commenters took aim specifically at U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the jurist overseeing the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case against the former president.

A Trump-appointee, Cannon caused outrage when she punted the case indefinitely, beyond the election, citing the large number of unresolved issues to rule on — many of which critics say she sat on for months without action.

Cannon in a recent filing also expressed her "disappointment" in special counsel Jack Smith for asking for redactions to protect witnesses and grand jurors.

"Reminder that the MAL docs case was and will always have been the cleanest, most straightforward criminal prosecution of the four against the former president," wrote national security lawyer Bradley Moss. "That the public won't see it brought to fruition before they go to the voting booth is a stain on the judicial system."

"Trump was still keeping classified documents in his bedroom AFTER the Mar-a-Lago search but according to Judge Cannon, what they were, why he had them & what he did with them are simply not questions the American people should have answers to before casting our votes in November," wrote political commentator @JoJoFromJerz.

"Cannon is a f---ing accomplice and you can't convince me otherwise," wrote former Ohio Democratic congressional candidate Aaron Paul Godfrey.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani complained Tuesday after being ordered to put up collateral for a $10,000 secured bond in an Arizona case about "fake electors."

Soon after appearing remotely before a judge in Maricopa County, Giuliani spoke on his podcast about the requirement for a bond as he faces bankruptcy proceedings. Arizona officials alleged Giuliani participated in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election with fake electors.

"You don't bring a case like this if you're not crooked," he said of the prosecution. "You got to show I'm a, I'll cheat for Biden too. I mean, you did a pretty damn good job on the election of cheating and the next election too."

"The judge set a $10,000 bail for me because I'm going to run away," he told his audience. "No, it was to screw me because I made it difficult for them to find me."

Giuliani disputed the notion that he was challenging to find.

"Now think about the idiocy of it," he said. "I have been prosecuted in Atlanta, I've shown up every time. I'm sued by all kinds of people; I showed up for my trial, where the verdict took place. There's no history of any kind of bail risk."

"So they had to have a $10,000 bail just for punitive reasons," he added. "This, again, proof that this is a completely political prosecution."

Giuliani has said that he is not guilty of any crimes.

"These charges are essentially a cut and paste version of what they're attempting to use to interfere with the 2024 Election and to take down President Trump and anyone willing to take on the permanent Washington political class," Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman said in a statement. "Joe Biden and his allies continue to weaponize the criminal justice system in their quest to take down President Trump and hold on to power. Mayor Rudy Giuliani—the most effective federal prosecutor in U.S. history—looks forward to full vindication soon."
