(CNN) Donald Trump has agreed the historic search warrant that authorized the seizure of federal records from the former president's home at Mar-a-Lago should be released.
The Justice Department had told the court it believes that unsealing the confidential investigative documents is in the public interest. The DOJ said it supports releasing 4 documents: The search warrant itself, 2 attachments that describe at least to some extent what was being searched & why & a receipt handed to Trump's legal team documenting what was seized from the property.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Friday that the FBI recovered 11 sets of classified documents from its search of Mar-a-Lago earlier this week, including some materials marked as "top secret/SCI." The newspaper reported that FBI agents removed about 20 boxes from Trump's resort & residence in Palm Beach, Florida -- including binders, sets of classified government materials, photographs & at least 1 handwritten note.
Federal agents reportedly seized one set of "top secret/SCI" documents, the highest level of classification. Agents took 4 sets of "top secret" documents, 3 sets of "secret" documents & 3 sets of "confidential" documents.
During the search, FBI agents also recovered a document about the "President of France."
The FBI search at the resort in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday was followed by days of silence from the Justice Department, as is the department's normal practice for ongoing investigations.
Then on Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the department had moved to unseal the search warrant & 2 attachments, including an inventory list.
