美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周一在社交媒体上发帖称，美国联邦调查局(FBI)在一次调查中没收了他的护照史无前例的突袭他在佛罗里达的Mar-a-Lago房产。
“哇!在联邦调查局对Mar-a-Lago的突袭中，他们偷走了我的三本护照(一本过期)，以及其他所有东西，”特朗普在他的社交媒体平台Truth Social上写道。“这是对政治对手的攻击，其程度在我国前所未有。第三世界!”
司法部的一名官员告诉ABC新闻，特朗普的护照已经归还给他的团队。
当被要求置评时，联邦调查局发言人告诉美国广播公司新闻:“在执行搜查令时，联邦调查局遵循法院下令的搜查和扣押程序，然后归还不需要为执法目的保留的物品。”
特朗普的发言人泰勒·布多维奇，开始使用Twitter周一晚上，他发布了一封电子邮件，据称是司法部反情报部门负责人杰伊·布拉特(Jay Bratt)发送的，提醒特朗普的团队，他们掌握了特朗普的护照，并提出有时间从联邦调查局在华盛顿特区的办事处领取文件。
多个消息来源向美国广播公司新闻证实，特朗普在棕榈滩的住所被搜查了从当地时间8月8日上午10点开始。前总统不在那里。
消息人士称，此次行动与特朗普离开白宫时带走的15箱文件有关，其中一些是国家档案馆的文件曾说过被标记为机密。今年1月，特朗普向国家档案馆移交了文件，他的律师表示，他们正在寻找他们可能拥有的其他记录。
这位前总统在8月8日晚上发表了一份声明，称Mar-a-Lago“目前正被一大群联邦调查局特工围困、突袭和占领。”他补充道:“他们甚至撬开了我的保险箱!”
熟悉调查的多名消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，司法部和联邦调查局认为特朗普继续保留具有国家安全影响的敏感机密文件，最近几周，官员们收到了更多信息，表明他没有遵守要求，提供司法部认为他拥有的信息。
这一信息非常敏感，当局想立即收回。
8月12日，一名法官放搜查令和物品清单的修订版。联邦政府要求公开这些文件。
该文件表明，司法部正在调查至少三项独立刑事法规的潜在违法行为，包括《反间谍法》下的一项法规。在显示从Mar-a-Lago没收的财产的收据下，联邦调查局人员指出，他们发现了11套各种类别的文件，从机密到绝密和敏感的分隔资料不等。
知情人士告诉ABC新闻，6月，特朗普的一名律师签署了一份声明，称Mar-a-Lago的所有机密文件都已移交给联邦调查人员。签署的声明是在第一张传票之后，第二张传票之前提交的。
签署声明之前，联邦特工6月份进行了一次访问，他们正在寻找特朗普据信未能移交给国家档案馆的其他材料。在那次访问中，特朗普顺道拜访并问候了特工。消息人士告诉ABC新闻，两名代表特朗普的律师在那次访问中在场。
消息人士称，特朗普在6月底遵从了第二张传票，要求获得Mar-a-Lago俱乐部的安全录像。
对Mar-a-Lago的突袭被认为是联邦调查局对现任或前任美国总统住所的首次搜查。特朗普和其他共和党人尖锐地批评了这次袭击被认为是党派攻击，并要求对此做出解释。特朗普否认有任何不当行为。
Trump accuses FBI of seizing his passports during raid of Mar-a-Lago
Former President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Monday that the FBI seized his passports during an unprecedented raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last week.
"Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else," Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. "This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!"
An official with the Department of Justice told ABC News that Trump's passports have been returned to his team.
When asked for comment, an FBI spokesperson told ABC News: "In executing search warrants, the FBI follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that do not need to be retained for law enforcement purposes."
Trump's spokesperson, Taylor Budowich, took to Twitter on Monday night to post an email allegedly sent by the Justice Department's counterintelligence head, Jay Bratt, alerting Trump's team that they were in possession of Trump's passports and offering a time to collect the documents from the FBI's field office in Washington, D.C.
Multiple sources confirmed to ABC News that Trump's residence in Palm Beach was searched by FBI agents on Aug. 8, starting at 10 a.m. local time. The former president was not there.
Sources said the operation was related to the 15 boxes of documents that Trump took when he departed the White House, some of which the National Archives has said were marked classified. In January, Trump handed over documents to the National Archives, and his attorneys said they were searching for additional records they may have.
The former president issued a statement on the night of Aug. 8, saying Mar-a-Lago "is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents." He added: "They even broke into my safe!"
Multiple sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News that the Justice Department and the FBI believed Trump continued to keep sensitive classified documents that had national security implications, and that in recent weeks officials received additional information suggesting he was not complying with requests to provide the information the Justice Department believed he had in his possession.
The information was sensitive enough that authorities wanted to take it back into possession immediately.
On Aug. 12, a judge released redacted copies of the warrant as well as inventory from the search. The federal government had requested the documents be unsealed.
The filing indicated that the Justice Department is investigating potential violation of at least three separate criminal statutes, including a statute under the Espionage Act. Under the receipt showing property that was seized from Mar-a-Lago, FBI agents noted that they recovered 11 sets of documents of various classifications ranging from confidential to top secret and sensitive compartmented information.
In June, an attorney for Trump signed a statement saying that all classified documents at Mar-a-Lago had been turned over to federal investigators, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The signed statement was submitted after the first subpoena but before a second.
The signed declaration came on the heels of a June visit by federal agents who were searching for additional materials that Trump was believed to have failed to turn over to the National Archives. During that visit, Trump stopped by and greeted the agents. Two lawyers representing Trump were present during that visit, sources told ABC News.
Trump complied with a second subpoena seeking security footage of the Mar-a-Lago club towards the end of June, sources said.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago is believed to be the first search by the FBI of the residence of a current or former U.S. president. Trump and other Republicans have sharply criticized the raid as a partisan attack and have demanded an explanation. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
