Former US President Donald Trump has accused the FBI of “stealing” his passports during a search of his home in Mar-a-Lago. “Wow! During the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three passports (one expired) and everything else,” Trump wrote Monday on the social networking site Truth Social, which he co-founded.
“This is an attack on a political opponent at a level that is unprecedented in our country. Third World!” It remained unclear why Trump spoke out only a week after the search of his property in the US state of Florida.
A Florida court released receipt of the seized items and search warrant at the request of U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday.
documents and various boxes
The list of seized items includes documents and various boxes. Passports are not explicitly mentioned there. The FBI had found classified documents in Trump’s house. The operation was based on suspicion that Trump had violated the Espionage Act and other laws, according to the search warrant.
In general, the truth of Trump’s statements is disputed. The Washington Post fact-checkers had proven that Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements during his four-year term from 2017 to 2021.
