What did the FBI want to find in Donald Trump? The federal police do not provide any information about this, but there is some evidence that the investigators were looking for documents from Trump’s time in the White House. The “Washington Post” now wants to know more about it.
According to the Washington Post, the federal police FBI are said to have searched for secret documents about nuclear weapons when they searched the property of former US President Donald Trump. The newspaper relies on unspecified sources. There was therefore no information about what information was actually involved and whether this information would have affected the USA or other countries. The sources also did not provide any information as to whether relevant documents had been found during the search.
The FBI searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last Monday. The operation is unprecedented in United States history. Trump was not at his home during the search. He and other Republicans have strongly criticized the search and accused Democratic US President Joe Biden of politicizing the FBI. According to the White House, Biden did not know in advance about the search of the Trump property.
The background to the search was apparently Trump’s handling of documents from his tenure. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the National Archives, which is responsible for storing presidential correspondence, suspected several boxes of confidential material were in Mar-a-Lago. Trump finally handed over several documents to the agency in January.
According to US media reports, there was then a further exchange between investigators and Trump’s lawyers. Officials suspected that Trump or his team were continuing to withhold important documents, the Washington Post wrote, citing anonymous sources. The FBI is said to have taken twelve boxes.
