The former president continues to get involved: The British BBC network published tonight (between Friday and Saturday) the censored version of the search warrant for the estate of the former US president, Donald Trump. The raid was carried out after it was suspected that the documents might endanger civilian witnesses. This, against the background of the findings of the FBI investigators, that top secret documents were found in the mansion.
At the same time, the former president attacked the conduct of the investigation and said that “it is run by political thugs”, this after the Ministry of Justice published a version of the affidavit that justified the raid by FBI investigators on Trump’s estate on August 8. However, given the work the documents filed before the search of Trump’s estate, they contain no new details about the dozens of classified documents the Justice Department said were found at Trump’s golf club.
The screen shows that the unprecedented criminal investigation against the former president began after the National Archives, which stores the historical records of the White House, identified 15 boxes of classified documents that were located in Trump’s mansion last January. After an FBI review, 184 classified documents and 25 documents classified as “Top Secret” were revealed.

As you may recall, the American government found more than 300 classified documents in the hands of former President Donald Trump, as reported by the New York Times. According to the report, at least half of the documents were located during an initial search last January at Lamar-a-Lago, Trump’s vacation home, located in Palm Beach, Florida.
According to the New York Times, the discovery of the initial batch of classified materials by the agency tasked with documenting and preserving historical records prompted Trump officials to give up an additional undisclosed number of materials to the government in June, prompting a federal raid earlier this month in which additional documents were seized by The FBI. Where at least one box of recovered materials has been marked with the highest federal government classification level.
