Donald Trump requested that all documents taken from his Mar-a-Lago home be returned so that he could give the files back to the National Archives and Records Administration.
The Mar-a-Lago Break-in Search and Seizure was illegal and unconstitutional, and we are taking all actions necessary to get the documents back, so that I can give them to them.
The lawsuit was filed by the former president's attorneys on Monday.
A court-appointed party is asked to review all the White House documents seized from his Palm Beach home by the FBI.
In February, the National Archives requested the return of any White House files. The agency asked the Justice Department to look into the matter.
He claimed that he needed the documents for his presidential library in order to take official documents, which are now known to be classified.
The documents were taken by accident and some of them were planted by the FBI.
The Aug. 8 search warrant at Mar-a-Lago was authorized by a federal court, according to Anthony Coley. The Department is aware of what happened tonight. The US will respond in court.
His claim appears to be related to his previous defense regarding former President Barack Obama. The process for transferring White House records was followed in Obama's case.
The fifteenth presidential library was going to be given to Trump. After he left office, the National Archives set up a website, but the plans for the library have been vague.
A spokesman for Trump didn't reply immediately.
