Politico reports:
Records the FBI obtained from Trump’s Florida home in advance of the Aug. 8 search bore indications they contained human source intelligence, intercepts under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and signals intelligence, as well as other tags indicating high sensitivity. Several of those tightly-controlled documents contained Trump’s “handwritten notes,” the partially-redacted affidavit detailing the Justice Department investigation says.
In those boxes, agents found 184 unique documents, 25 of which were marked “top secret,” 92 of which were marked “secret,” and 67 of which were marked “confidential”–the lowest level of national security classification. According to the affidavit, NARA officials found some of those “highly classified records were unfoldered, intermixed with other records, and otherwise unproperly [sic] identified.”
Trump just posted this to Truth Social:
Affidavit heavily redacted!!! Nothing mentioned on “Nuclear,” a total public relations subterfuge by the FBI & DOJ, or our close working relationship regarding document turnover – WE GAVE THEM MUCH.
Judge Bruce Reinhart should NEVER have allowed the Break-In of my home. He recused himself two months ago from one of my cases based on his animosity and hatred of your favorite President, me.
What changed? Why hasn’t he recused himself on this case? Obama must be very proud of him right now!
Trump’s response elides a few things:
1) Whether “nuclear” appears in affidavit or not (possibly in redacted section), Trump can simply say whether he had such material in his home
2) Relationship with DOJ deterioriarted well before search

3) Trump never bothered to intervene and seek Reinhart’s recusal, and it’s unclear on what basis he would do so. DOJ and Reinhart noted that Trump never even attempted to get involved in the process. Instead, he has been yelling from the sidelines. https://t.co/cyqg1ItpjY?
