THE SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE TRUMP HOME RAID
A US court in Florida has agreed to release the search warrant for the raid on former US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Miami.
A US District Judge approved an inspection note that allows the FBI to search the property of former President Donald Trump.
The unprecedented inspection came after the attorney general declared a significant public interest in exposing the warrant.
He also published details of the documents seized at Trump's home, some of which were classified as "top secret."
The search note, details of which were approved by a US federal judge, indicated that the attorney general has evidence that Trump may have violated the Counterintelligence Act, which prohibits the acquisition or transmission of information related to national defense, as well as other laws relating to the handling of government records.
The note added that Trump may have violated laws relating to anti-espionage and government records.
Court documents showed that FBI agents confiscated up to 11 sets of classified records from the Trump property during Monday's raid.
Prosecutors have evidence that Trump may have violated the Espionage Act, which prohibits acquiring or transmitting national defense information.
The prosecutors also believe that Trump may have violated laws dealing with government records that criminalize attempts to conceal or destroy them or keep sensitive presidential documents at one's home.
The court documents did not provide specifics about the documents nor what information they might contain. But press sources said that FBI agents who searched the house took about 20 boxes of documents, folders of photos, a handwritten note, and an executive order for clemency with Roger Stone. Trump's ally.
The sources stated that the list also included information about the President of France.
Trump had supported the release of the order of inspection, and his lawyers did not object to that.
He said the confiscated documents had been declassified and that he would have handed them over to the Justice Department if asked. However, it was not clear whether the documents had actually been declassified.
Trump also denied what was reported by an American newspaper that FBI agents were looking for documents linked to nuclear weapons, saying it was a hoax.
