The unusual search of Mar-a-Lago, Florida, shows “the deep concern” among government officials about information still with Trump and potentially falling into the wrong hands, the US newspaper reports.
The Washington Post sources do not go into detail about the documents sought in Mar-a-Lago. It is therefore not clear whether these are documents about American weapons or about weapons from other countries. It was also not stated whether the documents were found during the search.
The US Department of Justice and the FBI declined to comment on the article. A Trump spokesperson has not yet commented.
The raid on the former president’s home sparked a stir this week. Attorneys and Trump supporters called the raid disproportionate compared to other cases in which White House officials illegally took official documents or knew e-mails.
