Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have filed a lawsuit against the federal government over the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this month. The Justice Department says it seized 11 sets of classified files from the Florida estate in its investigation into Trump’s removal of the documents from the White House when he left office in January 2021. They added to the more than 150 sensitive documents retrieved from Mar-a-Lago in January. Trump denies any wrongdoing and says the raids were politically motivated to prevent him from running for the top job in 2024. His legal action is to stop the FBI from reading the seized documents until an independent lawyer can be appointed to read them first. There have also been growing calls for the search warrant to be unsealed – that’s yet to be determined.
