The US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Friday, revealed the search warrant that was used by the FBI to conduct a raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence. 

The search warrant, signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on August 5, authorized a raid on Trump's residence until August 19. The FBI, based on that document, searched Mar-A-Lago on August 8. 

Investigators took a number documents - 11 classified documents - which included materials labeled "Top Secret."

Trump said on Friday in a statement that all materials kept at his residence were declassified and stored securely. 

The search warrant indicates that the raid was carried out as part of a probe into potential violations of the Espionage Act, removal or destruction of records, and obstruction of an investigation.

Trump residence raid: FBI recovers 11 classified documents

After raiding former US President Donald Trump's Florida house, the FBI has recovered 11 sets of classified documents, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

The publication's report divulges that FBI agents recovered 11 sets of classified documents, including some labeled "Top Secret." 

In addition, about 20 boxes of materials were retrieved from Trump's residence, including handwritten notes, executive orders, and other documents, according to the report. 

After the FBI raided Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence in Florida on August 8, Trump accused his political enemies of weaponizing the judicial system against him.

Today, Friday, Trump dismissed a report that FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in aim to search for classified nuclear weapon documents.

"Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Muller investigation was a Hoax and much more. Same sleazy people," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump also questioned why the FBI wouldn't allow his lawyers to be present during the inspection, accusing them of 'planting' evidence in the mansion. 

In a recent poll, over three-quarters of Republicans believe that the political enemies of former President Donald Trump are behind the FBI’s recent raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence.
