FBI Returns Seized Mar-a-Lago Documents to Trump

Boxes of materials taken during the 2022 search are transported back to Florida aboard Air Force One, following the dismissal of the classified documents case.

  • The FBI returned boxes of materials seized during its 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago to President Trump, now transported back to Florida on Air Force One.
  • The documents case, which included charges of mishandling classified materials, was dismissed in 2024 after a federal judge ruled the special counsel's appointment unconstitutional.
  • Trump celebrated the return of the boxes, stating they would eventually be part of his presidential library and reiterating claims of political targeting.
  • White House officials described the returned materials as personal items, but did not clarify whether classified documents were included.
  • The Justice Department dropped its appeal of the case after Trump's 2024 election victory, citing a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.
