On August 8, the FBI raided Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago to investigate whether Trump mishandled or otherwise maintained classified documents. More than 30 federal agents stormed the property and confiscated over 20 boxes of material from the former president's residence. Later, reports emerged that the raid happened on the Department of Justice's belief that Trump and his team had not returned all documents that are deemed government property under the Presidential Records Act.
On Monday, reports emerged that US Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned a Chicago attorney to review classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, a think tank located in Washington, DC.

The classified materials included some top-secret files with the SCI or 'sensitive compartmented information' designation.
Trump said on Truth Social, "Wow! The Biden Think Tank is funded by CHINA!!! Also, a V.P. cannot Declassify documents, which are covered by the Federal Records Act, which is Criminal and MUCH TOUGHER than the Presidential Records Act, which is NOT Criminal. A President, me, can Declassify. How much more information has China been given?"
