Former President Donald Trump on Sunday demanded the FBI return documents he claims are protected by attorney-client and executive privilege that were seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Fox News reported on Saturday that the documents seized in the raid may have included "records covered by attorney-client privilege and potentially executive privilege."
