The FBI took back 11 sets of classified records from Mar-a-Lago after searching it, WSJ reported.
Some of them were marked top secret and only meant to be stored in special government facilities, the report said.
The feds also seized a handwritten note, Trump’s order granting Roger Stone clemency, information about the “President of France,” and more.
Federal agents took 11 sets of classified documents back with them after searching former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The Journal, which reviewed an inventory list of the items seized in the raid, said the FBI took around 20 boxes of items total, including a handwritten note; Trump’s order commuting the GOP strategist Roger Stone’s prison sentence; information about the “President of France”; and binders of photos.
Some of the classified records that the feds seized were marked top secret, according to The Journal, and only meant to be housed in special government facilities.
Friday’s development comes after The Washington Post reported late Thursday that the FBI was looking specifically for classified documents that contained nuclear information while searching Trump’s Florida home.
Trump released a statement Friday that notably did not deny The Post’s reporting and falsely accused former President Barack Obama of illegally moving classified government records from the White House to Chicago.
“President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified,” Trump said in the statement. “How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!”
