Former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort Searched by FBI
Agents executed a search warrant on Monday, August 8, 2022
The search was part of an ongoing investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents
Former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, was searched by FBI agents on Monday, August 8, 2022. The search warrant was part of an ongoing investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents, according to The Washington Post. The search was reportedly carried out with the cooperation of Trump's lawyers.
The FBI has been investigating Trump's handling of classified documents since early 2022. In February, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) said that Trump had taken classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House. NARA later asked the Justice Department to investigate the matter.
The search of Mar-a-Lago is a significant development in the investigation. It is the first time that the FBI has searched one of Trump's properties in connection with the investigation. The search could lead to criminal charges against Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing.
