According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump is pitching a pity party, complete with all the whining and pouting, because he just simply cannot understand why he’s not allowed to have the classified, top-secret documents that the FBI was forced to seize from his Mar-a-Lago resort via a search warrant from the Justice Department after he stole them from the White House and moved them to his Palm Beach compound.
The Journal reports on revelations made by inside sources who claimed Trump is stomping his foot, wanting the FBI to return the classified, top-secret documents they took from his Mar-a-Lago country club earlier this month.
“He has said, ‘People put this stuff in their library. How can they put it in their library if it has to go back to the Archives? I don’t understand why I can’t have these things,'” the source told WSJ.
The search and seizure warrant against Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was forced to take place after a subpoena was issued for the documents and materials — most of which were highly classified and top secret, allegedly including documents related to nuclear weapons — and the ex-president only ended up turning over a very small portion of the materials he was in possession of, ultimately refusing to fully cooperate with the subpoena. Officials had it on good authority that a multitude of additional boxes containing classified documents remained at Trump’s golf club that he now calls home, forcing the Department of Justice to issue the search and seizure warrant in an effort to retrieve all of the material Trump had taken.
