Former United States President Donald Trump denied this Friday that he was keeping classified nuclear documents in his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, during the search to which he was subjected this week.
“This nuclear weapons thing is a hoax,” Trump said in a message posted on his Truth Social platform, describing the federal agents involved in the search as “sleazy guys.”
Trump thus responds to information from the ‘Washington Post’, published on Thursday, which does not specify details about the content of these alleged documents, or if the agency found what it was looking for.
The ‘Post’ report comes after the Justice Department filed a motion Thursday to request that a Florida court reveal the search warrant executed by the FBI, following Trump’s accusations of alleged persecution by federal agents and the Biden Administration.
“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what happened under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of disclosure,” the Justice Department said and ‘The Hill’ has learned.
Supporters and supporters of the former president have called a series of mobilizations to protest the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida home. The former president has accused federal agents of carrying out a persecution against his person.
