Dozens of documents and folders marked “CONFIDENTIAL,” “SECRET,” and “TOP-SECRET” were seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago office on Aug. 8.

A newly unsealed document filed in federal court provides a look at the detailed inventory of what federal agents took from Trump’s office and storage area at his Palm Beach residence.

The FBI obtained a search warrant and seized the documents following months of back-and-forth between the National Archives and Records Administration, the Department of Justice and Trump’s legal team over his possession of government records they said should have been returned to the federal government following his exit from the White House in January 2021.
