US: The FBI seized 11 sets of classified records during the search of former US President Donald J Trump’s Florida property Mar-a-Lago earlier this week, including some materials marked as “top secret/sensitive compartmented information”.
The judge authorized the FBI to search what the bureau called the “45 Office” as well as “all other rooms or areas” at Mar-a-Lago that were available to former President Trump and his staff for storing boxes and documents. The search warrant identifies three possible federal crimes as the reasoning behind the search: violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice and criminal handling of government records.
According to the unsealed warrant, the FBI collected photos and information about the president of France, among other things.
One of the newly unsealed documents is a search warrant “receipt” revealed that FBI agents removed more than 20 boxes from the former President’s resort and residence in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as binders of photos, and sets of classified government materials and at least one handwritten note, CNN reported.
Federal agents seized just one set of “top secret/SCI” documents, according to the search warrant receipt. Agents took four sets of “top secret” documents, three sets of “secret” documents, and three sets of “confidential” documents. – ANI
