FBI Searches Mar-a-Lago for Classified Documents

| Trump 45 & 47

FBI agents execute a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, seizing approximately 11,000 documents including roughly 300 classified documents. The search follows months of negotiations after the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes in January 2022 and referred the matter to DOJ. Trump calls it a politically motivated 'raid.' It eventually leads to federal charges in June 2023.
