The warrant authorizing federal agents to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence was unsealed Friday by a federal judge, after the Justice Department requested that it be made public.

Federal authorities sought a range of highly sensitive documents, including 11 caches of classified materials, indicating that the federal investigation was examining possible violations of the Espionage Act, according to documents unsealed Friday.

The action came shortly after the Department of Justice wrote in a new court filing Friday that, after conferring with Trump's attorneys, the former president does not object to making the search warrant of his Mar-a-Lago estate public.

Before the document was released, details of what the FBI was looking for in its Monday search started to be reported, including that FBI agents who searched Trump's home retrieved boxes that included 11 sets of classified documents, said a person who has reviewed the documents.

  1. I’ll wait to see a conviction by a jury of his peers. Justice isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty dang good

    1. @Christopher Stuart Maybe you’re right, but I need indisputable proof. Free people are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Even if I’m angry

    1. @C Does it ever get tiresome singing that same tune… you FINALLY GOTM THIS TIME!!! Can you tell me how much you trust cops… and now tell me why you trust the FBI?

  2. The FED has lost it and the sad fact is, it’s pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can’t afford to feed their families, things might get ugly

    1. Inflation from June to July was at 0 (we are still up on the year) Gas is below $4 per gallon. You guys will be back to “caravans of migrants” by September lol

    2. @Mark in my opinion W down to 3.65 here. But that is not what I said. I said inflation was flat in July. So the inflated prices of June on average did not rise any higher. This indicates prices are not surging out of control.

  3. Imagine Covfefe trying to sell nuclear documents.. LOLOLLL Even him just saying nuclear 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🦧

    1. Ahahah! Example how fake news detaches demcorats from reality hahah! This never happend. He didnt even have nuclear documents! Trump getting the secret out on how to build nukes??!!! Yeah, I am sure no one can figure out how to make nukes these days! hahahah

  4. Remember why they all chanted “Lock her up!” about Hillary? It was for exactly this. Can’t make this up.

    1. @Kreatcher 1) Can you quote Trump’s words that incited an insurrection?
      2) The documents that Hillary had were classified as TOP SECRET. ALL TS classified documents should be handled as such and no one gets a free pass if they mishandle them… right?

    2. @MJ Z Are you making jokes against people that are waiters? Seems pretty classist. Why do you hate the working class?

  5. Yall can visit your orange witch hunt in a orange jumpsuit 🤣🤣🤣🤪😜😜🤪😜🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤔🤪😜😜🤪🤪🤪🤔😜😜😜😜🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

    1. Ahahah! Nuclear weapon docs is a lie. Ahahah! And what do you know about Presidential documents? You don’t even know what a woman is! hahahah

  6. I just hope they do this for hunter laptop. Only because you are the president son doesnt make you above the law…..
