WASHINGTON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - U.S. federal agents were looking
for documents relating to nuclear weapons when they raided
former President Donald Trump's home in Florida this week, the
Washington Post reported on Thursday.
It was not clear if such documents were recovered at the former
president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, the Post said.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
The U.S. Justice Department asked a judge on Thursday to make
public the warrant that authorized the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago,
after Trump, a Republican, portrayed it as political retribution.
The request means the public could soon learn more about what
investigators were looking for during the unprecedented search
of a former president's home.
The search was part of an investigation into whether Trump
illegally removed records from the White House as he left office
in January 2021, some of which the Justice Department believes
are classified.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, the top law enforcement
officer and an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, told
a news conference that he had personally approved the search.
The Justice Department also seeks to make public a redacted
receipt of the items seized.

"The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where
possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means
as an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any search
that is undertaken," Garland said.
His decision to publicly confirm the search was highly unusual.
U.S. law enforcement officials typically do not discuss ongoing
investigations in order to protect people's rights. In this
case, Trump himself announced the search in a Monday night
statement.
Garland said the Justice Department made the request to make
public the warrant "in light of the former president's public
confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and
the substantial public interest in this matter."
A source familiar with the matter said the FBI retrieved about
10 boxes from Trump's property during the search.
Trump was not in Florida at the time of the search.
Late on Thursday, Trump called for the immediate release of
documents related to the search.
"Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to
the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in
of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step
further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents,
even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats
and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and
powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done
for the last 6 years," he said on his Truth Social platform.
The government has until 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) on Friday to let the
court know whether Trump's attorneys will object to unsealing
the warrant. The case is before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce
Reinhart, who reviewed the warrant to ensure the Justice
Department had sufficient probable cause for the search.
While seeking to unseal the warrant, the Justice Department has
not asked the judge to unseal the sworn statement in support of
the warrant, the contents of which could potentially include
classified information.
Two of Trump's attorneys, Evan Corcoran and John Rowley, did not
respond to a request for comment.
In a statement earlier on his Truth social network, Trump said:
"My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and
very good relationships had been established. The government
could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it."
LOCKED STORAGE ROOM
The unprecedented search marked a significant escalation in one
of the many federal and state investigations Trump is facing
from his time in office and in private business, including a
separate one by the Justice Department into a failed bid by
Trump's allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election by
submitting phony slates of electors. read more
The investigation into Trump's removal of records started this
year, after the National Archives made a referral to the
department. read more
Former Archivist David Ferriero has previously said that Trump
returned 15 boxes to the government in January 2022. The
archives later discovered some of the items were "marked as
classified national security information."
A couple of months before the search, FBI agents visited Trump's
property to investigate boxes in a locked storage room,
according to a person familiar with the visit.
The agents and Corcoran spent a day reviewing materials, the
source said. A second source who had been briefed on the matter
told Reuters the Justice Department also has surveillance
footage from Mar-a-Lago in its possession.
Garland's Justice Department has faced fierce criticism and
online threats since Monday's search. Trump supporters and some
of his fellow Republicans in Washington accuse Democrats of
weaponizing the federal bureaucracy to target Trump.
In Cincinnati, Ohio, on Thursday, an armed man suspected of
trying to breach the FBI building died following an exchange of
gunfire with law enforcement officers, an Ohio State Highway
Patrol official said. read more
Garland condemned the threats and attacks against the FBI and
Justice Department. "I will not stand by silently when their
integrity is unfairly attacked," he said.
Some Democrats have criticized Garland for being overly cautious
in investigating Trump over his attempts to overturn his 2020
election loss to Biden.

-That's karma-
The result is DEMOCRATS lies about history and reality to themselves and
others means their attempts to figure-out what's wrong is an exercise in
futility, because what they think they know they really don't know, and
fixing problems without the truth... becomes a fools errand.

STOLEN Nuclear classified Trump documents are worse than Biden documents.
