FBI Returns Documents Seized in 2022 Mar-a-Lago Search to President Trump

The materials, which were part of a controversial classified documents investigation, are now en route to Florida for inclusion in Trump's planned presidential library.

  • The FBI has returned boxes of materials seized during its 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago, including documents tied to an investigation into Trump's handling of classified information.
  • The Justice Department dropped the case against Trump after his 2024 election victory, citing a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.
  • A federal judge had previously dismissed the charges in 2024, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment violated constitutional provisions.
  • Trump and his allies have consistently framed the investigation and search as politically motivated and an attack on his presidency.
  • The returned materials will reportedly be part of Trump's future presidential library, though it remains unclear if classified documents are included.
