New details on the raid on ex-US President Donald Trump: The FBI is said to have searched for secret documents about nuclear weapons in his Florida property.
According to a media report, the FBI federal police are said to have searched for secret documents about nuclear weapons when they searched the property of ex-US President Donald Trump.
But some things are still unclear: The
Washington Post
reported on Friday night that the unspecified sources of the newspaper had neither said what information it was specifically, nor whether this information affected the United States or other countries.
The sources also did not provide any information as to whether relevant documents had been found during the search.
Donald Trump: Search of his property is considered unprecedented in US history
The FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last Monday, August 8th.
The process is considered unprecedented in US history.
Trump was not at his home during the search.
He and other Republicans have strongly criticized the search and accused Democratic US President Joe Biden of politicizing the FBI.
According to the White House, Biden did not know in advance about the search of the Trump property.
The background to the search was apparently Trump's handling of documents from his tenure.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that the National Archives, which is responsible for storing presidential correspondence, suspected several boxes of confidential material were in Mar-a-Lago.
Trump finally handed over several documents to the agency in January.

After that, according to US media reports, there was a further exchange between investigators and Trump's lawyers.
Officials suspected Trump or his team were continuing to withhold important documents, the
Washington Post
wrote , citing anonymous sources.
The FBI is said to have taken twelve boxes
Donald Trump is also said to have torn up files and flushed them down the White House toilet during his presidency.
The ex-president denies that - but now there are photos.
