The incident was initially revealed by none other than former US President Donald Trump himself. While announcing his home had been raided, the former commander-in-chief said the search indicated "dark times for our nation."Since the Monday development, the search has prompted outrage from conservatives and seen a spike in threats against federal law enforcement officials; in fact, Ohio police were engaged in an hourlong standoff with an armed man that attempted to breach a Cincinnati FBI office as Garland addressed the public on Thursday.

Report: Classified Info on Nuclear Weapons Among Docs FBI Searched for at Trump's Mar-a-Lago
Since the Monday raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, the former US president has blasted the incident as "prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for president in 2024."
Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the various items FBI agents searched for while executing a warrant on Monday at former US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, it was revealed Thursday.
Sources familiar with the investigation did not
clarify to the Washington Post whether the documents were specifically regarding US nuclear weapons or those belonging to another country. Additionally, the unidentified sources failed to detail if the documents had been successfully recovered.
David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department's counterintelligence section, told the Post that if the allegations are true, "it would suggest that material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been classified at the highest classification level."
“If the FBI and the Department of Justice believed there were top secret materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater ‘hair-on-fire’ motivation to recover that material as quickly as possible.”
Little has been confirmed regarding the Monday FBI raid so far, with US Attorney General Merrick Garland only commenting on Thursday that he had personally approved the search warrant.
