  • The FBI conducted a raid on Mar-a-Lago.

  • No one has a right to possess classified material outside of a secure setting, according to him.

  • He was also critical of the FBI probe.

The former Secretary of State appeared to criticize the former president's handling of classified information after leaving office.

The FBI's raid on Trump's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, was the subject of a video of a speech by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

After executing a search warrant, agents found a lot of classified information that they believe Trump kept.

No one is allowed to keep classified information outside of a place where it should be. It is definitely true. The secretary of state doesn't get to keep it, no one does, said the man at the event on Sunday.

The DOJ investigation was politicized despite the serious problems with Trump's handling of the material.

The raid on the home of a former president is outrageous.

The Department of Justice is being politicized in a way that is not in line with the understandings of the rule of law in the United States.

While acknowledging the problems with his cavalier handling of secret information, a number of former Trump administration officials tread a precarious path to defend him in the wake of the raid.

In a recent interview with Fox News, former Attorney General Bill Barr said that the FBI shouldn't be investigating the former president.

The documents were broadly declassified by Trump before he left office. His legal team didn't offer any proof this was the case.

In a photo released by the DOJ, documents with the highest levels of classification were shown in an office in Mar-a-Lago.

During his time in office, the CIA director was a loyalist of the president. He is said to be positioning himself for a presidential bid in twenty four years.

The FBI's access to the documents it seized is currently being fought over by Trump.

The material is being reviewed by a third party official to see if it should be given back to Trump.

The DOJ appealed a ruling that denied them access to classified material until the special master finished his work.
