The New York Times reported on Monday that the government has recovered more than 300 classified documents from Mar-a-Lago since the beginning of the year.
There are police outside of Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence as part of the Justice Department's wider probe into Trump's handling of classified White House documents.
According to The Wall Street Journal, a confidential source may have tipped off the FBI about the existence of the documents at Mar-a-Lago.
The warrant used to conduct the search on Trump's property was unsealed by the Attorney General.
On the same day that Trump encouraged the release of the warrant, he continued to paint the search as a politically motivated witch hunt against him.
There were 20 boxes of material recovered from Trump's residence, including various classified materials, a handwritten note, and information about the president of France, according to the warrant.
According to the warrant, the FBI is investigating if Trump violated the Espionage Act, the willful and unlawful destruction of government property and the obstruction of a government investigation.
According to the New York Times, a member of Trump's legal team signed a document in June stating that all classified material had been returned to the government.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed the Federal agents searching his home had taken all three of his passports despite the FBI and the DOJ's official documents stating no such seizure.
The DOJ opposed the unsealing of the affidavit associated with the Mar-a-Lago search warrant because it was important to protect the integrity of its investigation.
In a Truth Social Post, Trump called for the release of a completely un-redacted affidavit, as well as the names of the witnesses who spoke to the investigators.
The DOJ was ordered by the federal judge to give him a redacted version of the affidavit by the next Thursday.
Lawyers for Trump asked a judge to appoint a special master to look at the seized documents and decide if they are private or privileged.
The FBI searched Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence as part of a larger investigation into the handling of White House documents by the former president. The National Archives and Records Administration said in January that it received 15 boxes of government documents from Mar-a-Lago. Both Trump and the Republicans have reacted to the investigation with anger and accusations of a political witch hunt. The New York Times reported that investigators have recovered more than 300 classified documents from Mar-a-Lago.
