FBI removed classified documents from Mar-a-Lago, is investigating possible Espionage Act violations

WASHINGTON — FBI agents removed 11 sets of classified documents — including some marked top secret and meant to only be available in special government facilities — from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Monday.

The itemized list of items taken from the property, which was released Friday at the Department of Justice’s request along with the accompanying warrant, includes one set of documents marked as “Various classified/TS/SCI documents,” which is an abbreviation that refers to top-secret/sensitive compartmented information. It also says agents recovered four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents and three sets of confidential documents.

The list, released by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Friday along with the text of the warrant, does not include details on the subject matter of the documents.
