A note accompanying the search warrant, which was obtained by the publication on Friday, shows that "top secret" documents were found on Trump. They include materials with the TS/SCI code, which indicates one of the highest levels of government classification, as well as another secret document with the title "Information about the President of France." The warrant shows that Trump was being investigated by federal law enforcement for removal or destruction of records, obstruction of an investigation, and violations of espionage law. The documents are expected to be made public later after the Justice Department demanded their public disclosure amid relentless attacks from Trump and his Republican Party cronies. Sources of the publication noted "search of Trump's estate .
On Monday, FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The search began around 10 am with dozens of Bureau agents. Trump himself and his family watched him on video cameras installed in the residence. The former head of the White House later issued a statement and said that federal investigators "even broke into his safe." According to him, such a case is "out of the ordinary" and searches of this kind were not carried out in the homes of former US presidents Clinton and Obama, who had serious disagreements with Trump.
According to NBC News, the actions of the Justice Department, which reports to the FBI, will be subject to scrutiny, including by Trump supporters in Congress. Key GOP lawmakers are promising to hold hearings and investigations after the midterm congressional elections in November. The search was conducted quietly, without any media involvement, and according to the Secret Service official, the FBI special agents involved in the search did not even have the standard identification equipment used in conventional raids.
Taylor Budovich, Trump's press secretary, said the FBI's actions were "not just unprecedented, but unnecessary, and now they are spreading lies and insinuations in an attempt to justify the use of the government as a weapon against their dominant political opponent." "This is outrageous," Budovich concluded.
