Former President's Florida Home Under Investigation

Investigators Execute Search Warrant Related to Handling of Classified Documents

In a major development, former President Donald Trump's Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, was searched on Monday by FBI agents. The search is part of an ongoing investigation into the handling of classified documents by Trump after he left office.

The search warrant was executed as part of an investigation into whether Trump illegally removed classified documents from the White House when he left office in January 2021. The FBI is also investigating whether Trump obstructed justice by attempting to conceal or destroy those documents.

The search of Mar-a-Lago is a significant escalation in the investigation into Trump's handling of classified documents. It is the first time that the FBI has searched one of Trump's properties since he left office.
