Breaking: FBI Removed Eleven Sets of Classified Documents during Mar-a-Lago Search: Report

The FBI recovered eleven sets of classified documents during a search of former president Donald Trump's private residence at Mar-a-Lago earlier this week, including some top secret documents that should only have been available in special government facilities, according to a new report.

A list of items removed from the property reviewed by the Wall Street Journal includes one set of documents that were labeled "Various classified/TS/SCI documents," meaning the documents included top-secret or sensitive compartmented information.

The list also included four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents and three sets of confidential documents, according to the report. The Wall Street Journal reported that the list did not offer any details about the substance of the documents.

The list, which was included in a seven-page document that featured the warrant to search the premises, reveals that FBI agents took roughly 20 boxes of items, binders of photos, a handwritten note and the executive grant of clemency for Roger Stone, as well as information about the president of France.

Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich told the paper: "The Biden administration is in obvious damage control after their botched raid where they seized the President's picture books, a 'hand written note,' and declassified documents. This raid of President Trump's home was not just unprecedented, but unnecessary."

The report notes that the search and seizure warrant said FBI agents were looking to search "the 45 Office," and "all storage rooms and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by [the former president] and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate."

The news comes one day after Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday that he "personally approved" the FBI search. He said in a statement delivered from the Department on Justice that the agency "does not take such a decision lightly where possible."

"It is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken," Garland said.

He said that the DOJ has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal the search warrant that FBI agents used to search Trump's residence “in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter.”

Trump responded on Thursday calling for the “immediate” release of the warrant.

The former president posted on his Truth Social platform: "Not only will I not oppose the release of documents … I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents." 

"Release the documents now!" he wrote.

The National Archives and Records Administration previously recovered 15 boxes of records in January, including items "marked as classified national security information."

A source told the Washington Post that an inventory of unclassified items in the recovered boxes is 100 pages long. Recovered items that were improperly taken to Mar-a-Lago include a cocktail napkin, a birthday dinner menu, a phone list, charts, slide decks, letters, memos, maps, talking points, schedules and more, according to the report.
