THE FBI recovered top secret and even more sensitive documents from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, as per court papers released after a federal judge unsealed the warrant that authorised the sudden, search this week.
A property receipt unsealed by the court shows FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from the estate during a search on Monday.
The seized records include some marked not only top secret but also sensitive compartmented information, a special category meant to protect the nation's most important secrets that if revealed publicly could cause exceptionally grave damage to US interests. The court records did not provide specific details about information the documents might contain.
The warrant says federal agents were investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation of records and the destruction, alteration of records in federal investigations.
