On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida, residence of former president Donald Trump. The search warrant was authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland and approved by magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart, following a complaint by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The order, which was unsealed a few days after the search, showed that the FBI obtained the search warrant as part of an investigation into Trump, relating to three federal criminal statutes: removal or destruction of government records; destroying or concealing records "with the intent to impede, obstruct or influence" federal government activity; and violations of the Espionage Act regarding unauthorized retention of national defense information.[3][4] Later, a heavily redacted version of the affidavit explaining the FBI's goals was released to the public.[5] Agents seized 11 sets of classified documents: one set at the highest classification level, "Top Secret/SCI" (sensitive compartmented information); four sets at the "Top Secret" level; three sets at the "Secret" level; and three sets at the "Confidential" level. According to The New York Times, more than 300 classified FBI, CIA and NSA documents on topics of national security interests had been recovered since January 2022, and Trump had gone through the boxes at the end of 2021.
