FBI took 11 sets of classified material from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home while investigating possible Espionage Act violations


The property receipt , which was also released on Friday, for Trump's Mar-a-Lago home shows that some of the materials recovered were marked as "top secret/SCI" -- one of the highest levels of classification. The search warrant identifies three federal crimes that the Justice Department is looking at as part of its investigation: violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice and criminal handling of government records. The inclusion of the crimes indicates the Justice Department has probable cause to investigate those offenses as it was gathering evidence in the search. Agents also took four sets of "top secret" documents, three sets of "secret" documents, and three sets of "confidential" documents, court documents show. During the search, FBI agents also recovered material about the "President of France," according to the warrant receipt.
