11 sets of classified records were returned by the FBI after they searched Mar-a-Lago.
The report said that some of them were marked top secret and only intended to be stored in government facilities.
A handwritten note, Trump's order granting Roger Stone clemency, and more were seized by the feds.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that 11 sets of classified documents were taken back by federal agents after they searched the Mar-a-Lago residence.
The FBI took around 20 boxes of items, including a handwritten note, Trump's order to commute Roger Stone's prison sentence, and binders of information about the President of France, according to The Journal.
According to The Journal, some of the records the feds seized were marked top secret and intended to be housed in special government facilities.
Shortly after the Journal article was published, Trump denied it.
It was all declassified." They did not need to "seize" anything. They could have had it whenever they wanted. There was an additional lock put on it. They were able to have it whenever they wanted for a long time. All they had to do was follow the instructions.
The statement recycled Trump's false claim that Obama moved classified government records to Chicago.
The Washington Post reported late Thursday that the FBI was looking for classified documents that contained nuclear information during a search of Donald Trump's Florida home.
Trump released a statement Friday that did not deny The Post's reporting, and again drew a misleading comparison between the FBI's search for classified records at his Florida home and the legal transfer of records from the White House to Chicago for his presidential library.
According to Trump, Obama kept 33 million pages of documents. How many of them were related to nuclear? Word is a lot.
As the Justice Department nears a Friday afternoon deadline to let a Florida court know if Trump's lawyers will agree with or object to its Thursday motion to unseal the Mar-a-Lago search records, there is a flurry of Trump statements.
Attorney General Garland said that the department made the request to unseal because of the increased public interest in the matter after Trump announced the raid.
