As the publication notes, the appeal published on social networks has no legal force. According to the actual legal document, the search warrant, the FBI seized what was about top secret national security matters. It was reported that some such documents related to nuclear weapons.
The US National Archives has been demanding the return of the documents for a long time. A few months ago, a government agency approached the prosecutor’s office accusing the former president of refusing to hand over documents.
According to media reports, FBI agents seized 11 sets of classified documents during the search, including some classified as top secret.
