An employee at Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort reportedly flooded a room that stores surveillance video logs, one of a string of suspicious incidents surrounding a classified documents probe.

The former US presidents Florida resort was raided by the FBI last summer when investigators recovered about 300 classified documents, including US secrets that may have come from human spies, from the property.

The raid was part of a federal investigation into Mr Trump’s retention of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2017.

Two months later, as prosecutors sought surveillance footage to track how the records were moved around the resort, a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept was flooded.

CNN reported Monday that a staff member at Mar-a-Lago drained the resort’s pool and managed to cause a flood last October.

However, IT equipment in the room was not damaged, according to the network.

It is unclear whether the room was intentionally flooded, but it was reportedly one of a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.

The events, along with the conversations and actions of other Trump staff during the criminal investigation conducted at the Florida resort, have drawn the attention of prosecutors, according to CNN.

Prosecutors questioned at least one witness about the flood.
