Someone over in arr politics pointed out this juicy tidbit (emphasis added):

As I previously indicated to you, Mar-a-Lago does not include a secure location authorized for the storage of classified information. As such, it appears that since the time classified documents were removed from the secure facilities at the White House and moved to Mar-a-Lago on or around January 20, 2021, they have not been handled in au appropriate manner or stored in an appropriate location. Accordingly, we ask that the room at Mar-a-Lago where the documents had been stored be secured and that all of the boxes that were moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago (along with any other items in that room) be preserved in that room in their current condition until further notice.

That is, documents were moved to Mar-a-Lago literally the day that Trump left office. These weren't documents he had "lying around" because he was working with them earlier and he just forgot to return them at the end of his term. He specifically went out of his way to retrieve these documents as he was walking out the door.
