Some of the documents marked “top secret” are intended to be “available only in special government facilities,” the paper said. The estate of a former president, of course, is not. In all, the FBI agents took about 20 boxes of documents, including folders with photos and a handwritten note on which Trump pardons Roger Stone, an ally of the former president. The documents are also said to contain information about French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Justice Department asked a Florida judge Friday to release the search warrant, barring Trump’s objections. The 76-year-old former president has already said he would not block release of the warrant. He did say that he is the victim of “unprecedented political efforts by law enforcement” by “radical-left Democrats.”
The Justice Department points out that Trump and his lawyers have received a copy of the search warrant, as well as a receipt of the seized documents.
