Trump mixed top secret documents with magazines, other items: FBI

Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate early this year contained classified documents, many of them top secret, mixed in with miscellaneous newspapers, magazines and personal correspondence, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday. No space at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was authorized for the storage of classified material, according to the court papers, which laid out the FBI's rationale for searching the property this month, including probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found. The 32-page affidavit heavily redacted to protect the safety of witnesses and law enforcement officials and the integrity of the ongoing investigation offers the most detailed description to date of the government records being stored at Mar-a-Lago long after Trump left the White House. It also reveals the gravity of the government's concerns that the documents were there illegally. The document makes clear how the haphazard ..

Person jumps FBI field office fence in Chicago, throws rocks at building

A person jumped the fence outside the FBI's Chicago field office and began throwing rocks at the building on Thursday morning, authorities said. No injuries were reported in connection with the incident and Rob Sperling, a spokesman for the Federal Protective Service, said that the person was detained and taken by Chicago police to a hospital for evaluation. The police department's news affairs office said the person was only taken to a hospital but was not arrested. FBI spokeswoman Siobhan Johnson declined to comment beyond confirming that a "security incident" had occurred at about 11 am and that there were no injuries and no known threats to the public at this time." The incident comes at a time of increased concern for the safety of federal law enforcement officers since the FBI served a court-authorized search warrant at the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. Since the warrant was served, a man armed with an AR-15 was killed in a shootout after attempting to breach

Judge orders unsealing of redacted affidavit in Trump's Mar-a-Lago search

A judge ordered the Justice Department on Thursday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit it relied on when federal agents searched the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump to look for classified documents. The directive from US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart came hours after federal law enforcement officials submitted under seal the portions of the affidavit that they want to keep secret as their investigation moves forward. The judge set a deadline of noon Friday for a redacted, or blacked-out, version of the document. The order means the public could soon get at least some additional details about what led FBI officials to search Mar-a-Lago on August 8 as part of an investigation into classified documents being retained at the Palm Beach property. Documents already made public as part of the investigation show that the FBI retrieved from the property 11 sets of classified documents, including information marked at the top secret level. Search warrant ...

Trump seeks 'neutral' special master to review Mar-a-Lago documents

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have asked a federal judge to prevent the FBI from continuing to review documents recovered from his Florida estate earlier this month until a neutral special master can be appointed. The attorneys on Monday asserted in a court filing, their first since the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago two weeks ago, that the sets of documents taken from the residence were presumptively covered by executive privilege. This matter has captured the attention of the American public. Merely adequate' safeguards are not acceptable when the matter at hand involves not only the constitutional rights of President Trump, but also the presumption of executive privilege, the attorneys wrote. Separately on Monday, a federal judge acknowledged that redactions to an FBI affidavit spelling out the basis for the search might be so extensive as to make the document meaningless if released to the public. But he said he continued to believe it should not remain sealed in its ...

Judge concedes that FBI affidavit on Trump may be heavily redacted

A federal judge has acknowledged that redactions to an FBI affidavit spelling out the basis for the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate might be so extensive as to make the document meaningless if released to the public. But he on Monday said he continued to believe it should not remain sealed in its entirety because of the intense public interest in the investigation. A written order from US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart largely restates what he said in court last week, when he directed the Justice Department to propose redactions about the information in the affidavit that it wants to remain secret. That submission is due on Thursday at noon. Justice Department officials have sought to keep the entire document sealed, saying disclosing any portion of it risks compromising an ongoing criminal investigation, revealing information about witnesses and divulging investigative techniques. They have advised the judge that the necessary redactions to the affidav

Former US V-P Pence says he didn't leave office with classified material

Former Vice President Mike Pence said on Friday that he didn't take any classified information with him when he left office. Pence made the comment during an interview with The Associated Press in Iowa a week and a half after the FBI seized classified and top secret information during a search at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Asked directly if he retained any classified information upon leaving office, Pence said, No, not to my knowledge. The disclosure which would typically be unremarkable for a former vice president is notable given that FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from his former boss's estate on August 8 while investigating potential violations of three different federal laws. Trump has claimed that the documents seized by agents were all declassified and argued that he would have turned them over if the Justice Department had asked. But although Pence said he and his team complied with rules requiring the submission of classified mater

Pence tells fellow Republicans to stop lashing out at FBI over Trump search

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday implored fellow Republicans to stop lashing out at the FBI over the search of Donald Trump's Florida home and denounced calls by some of the former president's allies to defund the FBI, saying that was just as wrong as a push by Democratic activists to shift money from police. Pence also said he would give due consideration if asked to testify before the House committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His pleas for restraint come as law enforcement officials warn of an escalating number of violent threats targeting federal agents and government facilities since agents last week searched Mar-a-Lago as part of the Justice Department's investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's estate earlier this year. Speaking in New Hampshire, Pence said he has been troubled by what he called the politicization of the FBI. He also said the Justice Department and Attorney General .
