The F.B.I. returned boxes of materials seized during its 2022 search of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, as confirmed by the White House. These materials, previously considered evidence in a criminal case, included classified documents. Charges against Trump were dismissed due to a policy barring prosecutions of sitting presidents. Following the dismissal, Trump has sought the return of the seized items, which were reportedly intended for his Presidential Library. White House officials claimed the F.B.I.'s actions were unlawful, and Trump maintained he did nothing wrong regarding the documents.
The F.B.I. on Friday gave President Trump the boxes of materials the bureau had seized during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 2022, the White House announced.
Files that investigators said contained classified material were among the thousands of items taken in the search, and they had formed the central evidence in a criminal case charging Mr. Trump with illegally taking them.
The F.B.I. is giving the president his property back that was taken during the unlawful and illegal raids, Mr. Cheung said.
In his own statement, the president said he wanted to make the materials part of the Trump Presidential Library. The Department of Justice has just returned the boxes that deranged Jack Smith made such a big deal about.
