It seems even more evidence of how special an ex-President is treated has come to light:
This is ridiculous. It was already known by the FBI/DOJ that Mr. Trump was resistant to dealing honestly with them and with his own lawyers. Mr.Trump should've been given as little consideration as any other powerful and connected suspect. Instead it looks like he got away -- again -- with bulldozing them all -- his own lawyers, FBI/DOJ. But justice is coming...

Special counsel asked witnesses about 2 Mar-a-Lago rooms FBI didn't search: Sources
As investigators would later learn, Trump allegedly had the closet's lock changed while his attorney was in Mar-a-Lago's basement, searching for classified documents in a storage room that he was told would have all such documents. Trump's alleged efforts to conceal classified documents from both the FBI and his own attorney are a key part of Smith's indictment against Trump in Florida.
Jordan Strauss, a former federal prosecutor and former national security official in the Justice Department, called the FBI's alleged failure to search the closet "a bit astonishing."
"You're searching a former president's house. You [should] get it right the first time," Strauss told ABC News.
In addition to the closet, the FBI also didn't search what authorities have called a "hidden room" connected to Trump's bedroom, sources said.
