Donald Trump being investigated under Espionage Act, with 'top secret' documents taken from his Florida home

The FBI recovered more than 20 boxes of items - some labelled top secret - during a search of Donald Trump's Florida mansion, court records show.

Details from a warrant that has now been unsealed, show that some of the items related to defence information.

The warrant said the probe involves alleged violations of the Espionage Act.

A binder of photos and a handwritten note are among the items seized, along with a potential presidential record.

According to Fox News, one set of documents was marked as "various classified/TS/SCI documents" referring to top secret and sensitive information.

The FBI searched Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida earlier this week, with the former president claiming his home was "raided" and "under siege" and that agents broke open a safe.
