Neither the US Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, nor the investigating agency denied or confirmed the latest report.
The FBI agents were looking for documents relating to nuclear weapons, among others, in the unprecedented search they conducted of the premises of former US President Donald Trump earlier this week in Florida, according to a stunning news report.
The newspaper sourced the report to multiple officials « all unidentified » involved in the investigation of the case that caused the search but gave no further details of the kind of nuclear weapons’ documents sought by the agents.
Government officials are worried that these documents could fall in the wrong hands at Trump’s Florida home that is also a club frequented by members.
Trump has held on to an undisclosed volume of documents from his presidency that he is required to have turned in for archiving by the government. The National Archive, which is the repository of these documents, has been following up with him and his aides for months.
