Washington: The FBI on Friday that 15 boxes were found in the raid conducted at Donald Trump’s residence in Florida. Secret documents related to US security have been recovered in 14 of these boxes.
The FBI on Friday issued an affidavit clarifying the raid at Donald Trump’s ‘Mar-a-Lago resort’. The 32-page affidavit contains several information related to criminal investigation.
The FBI said that Donald Trump had kept dozens of confidential documents in his Mar-a-Lago resort, including top secret intelligence.
Redacted affidavit
In the affidavit issued, many important details related to the investigation have been given, although FBI officials have also made some amendments to ensure that the identity of the witnesses is not revealed and the modalities of the investigation are not known. The FBI gave this affidavit to a judge to obtain a warrant for the raid on Trump’s residence.
The affidavit sheds new light on the initial batch of 15 box material that Trump handed over to the US government in January after months of bargaining with Justice Department officials.
According to the affidavit, those boxes were kept in a non-secure room for over a year. Among them were 184 confidential documents, of which 25 were kept secret.
The analysis of content sounded alarm in the Justice Department and then the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Log resort in Palm Beach, Florida, on August 8. A large number of boxes containing secret documents were recovered. At the same time, Trump, who is preparing for 2024, has strongly criticized the FBI’s raid.
