- FBI agents have seized “top secret” documents from former US President Donald Trump’s home.
- This emerges from court documents released by the US judiciary.
- The documents also show that Trump is suspected of violating the Espionage Act.
The sealed search warrant has been released by a Florida federal judge along with a listing of the documents seized. This includes highly confidential information that could seriously damage US security interests if made public.
In a process unprecedented in US history, the FBI investigated former President Donald Trump’s luxury property. “My beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., is currently under siege, search and occupation by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump wrote on Monday evening (local time) on Truth Social, a network he co-founded. . He also claimed there that all documents had been released and the secrecy had therefore been lifted. There has never been a raid on the home of a former US President.
Those involved in the raid said FBI officials were looking for clues as to whether Trump illegally took government documents from the White House when he left office in January 2021. On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said he personally authorized the FBI’s investigation into the ex-president.
