The Wall Street Journal reported
According to sources – described as well-informed – that FBI agents found highly classified documents dumped in unsafe places, when they searched the home of the former President Donald Trump in Florida more than two weeks ago.
The newspaper reported, today, Wednesday, that investigators are still trying to understand why Trump wanted to keep those documents, which they confiscated from his home called Mar-a-Lago.
The search warrant and the list of confiscated materials show that FBI agents collected 11 sets of classified material from Trump’s home, including one that contained some of the most sensitive government secrets.
The former US president asked the judiciary, the day before yesterday, Monday, to appoint an independent expert to examine the documents seized by the FBI from his home, to determine whether some of them should be kept secret, and therefore not used in investigations.
Trump said – in a statement – that the raid carried out by FBI investigators on his home in Florida on August 8, in a precedent in the history of former American presidents, was “unlawful and unconstitutional, and we will do everything in our power to recover the documents.” .
Investigators suspect that the Republican billionaire violated the anti-espionage law, which strictly governs who and how possesses classified documents.
