Agents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago seized 11 sets of classified documents, court filing shows Search warrant unsealed Friday lists potential crimes including mishandling defense information and destruction of records
The FBI search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida home earlier this week found four sets of top-secret documents and seven sets of less-secret but still classified information, according to a list of items seized in the high-profile raid and unsealed by a federal magistrate judge on Friday.
The written inventory — a document provided by investigators after a search — says the FBI took about 20 boxes of items from the Mar-a-Lago Club on Monday, including photo binders, information about the president of France, and a variety of classified material.
One set of documents is listed as “Various classified TS/SCI documents,” a reference to top secret/sensitive compartmented information, a highly classified category of government secrets, in addition to the four sets of top-secret papers. Agents also took three sets of documents classified as secret, and three sets of papers classified as confidential — the lowest level of classification.
The list of seized material doesn’t further describe the subject matter of any of the classified documents.
“Some of what was in Trump’s possession is mind-boggling,” said Javed Ali, a senior official at the National Security Council during the Trump administration. “Whenever you leave government — including probably a former president — you can’t just take it with you.”
