After the FBI executed a raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, a senator described the process for viewing classified documents.
The FBI took a number of boxes of documents from the Florida property.
"As a senator, I have to go in a special room when I look at classified documents," she said. I cannot wear my device.
According to reports, federal agents thought Trump had presidential records. According to the Washington Post, investigators were looking for secret documents.
You can't take federal documents out of secure locations or destroy them. Mar-a-Lago, where you can check out croquet sets and tennis rackets, is not one of them.

It's too early to say if the raid will result in an indictment for Trump, but the law is king, according to the senator.
I don't have everything. She said that it was up to the Justice Department to decide if it was a crime or not. The former president is not a ruler. Everyone has to obey the law.
