FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from Florida estate.The FBI recovered documents that were labelled "top secret" from former U.S. president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to court papers released Friday after a federal judge unsealed the warrant that authorized the unprecedented search this week.

The seized records include some that were marked classified as top secret and also "sensitive compartmented information," a special category meant to protect the nation's most important secrets that if revealed publicly could cause "exceptionally grave" damage to U.S. interests. The court records did not provide specific details about the documents or what information they might contain.

The property receipt also showed federal agents collected other potential presidential records, including the order pardoning Trump ally Roger Stone, a "leatherbound box of documents," and information about the "President of France." A binder of photos, a handwritten note, "miscellaneous secret documents" and "miscellaneous confidential documents" were also seized in the search.

While incumbent presidents have the power to declassify information, that authority lapses as soon as they leave office and it was not clear if the documents in question have ever been declassified. And even an incumbent's powers to declassify may be limited regarding secrets dealing with nuclear weapons programs, covert operations and operatives, and some data shared with allies.

YOU KNOW THE PRESIDENT HAS THE LAST RIGHT TO CLASIFY DOCS ? ALL HE HAS TO SAY IS DELASIFED

Was it Hunters?

LOL

What a sham

Did they also find sacks with '$' printed on them?

I am wondering if there will be any charges laid and if maybe this will disqualify any future run for office. 🙏🏼 I guess this will all come out in the near future, but one can only hope. Hmmm, do I sense a sinking ship?

The Conservative party of Canada can sure pick winners. They think Trump is great!

How is he not in jail right now?

Treasonous Trump, Vile obese orange bloated pig
