The controversy has increased through the media and social media, and in the statements of a number of officials during the past few hours, following press reports about threats to the US Federal Police that raided a product of former US President Donald Trump, while a more press report spoke about the reasons for the raid and referred to documents related to nuclear weapons.
A report published by the American newspaper The Washington Post in which it said that the FBI raided the resort of former US President Donald Trump to search for nuclear weapons documents, sparked a wide interaction among activists on social media. In the newspaper's report, the sources did not provide additional details to the newspaper about "the type of information the agents were looking for" or whether any such documents had been found.
CNN reported in an earlier report that the criminal investigation began with concerns about missing documents raised by the National Archives, which made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice when highly sensitive documents were discovered among the items recovered from Trump's resort in January.
They were part of Special Access Programs (SAP), a classification that includes protocols to drastically limit who can access the information, according to a source familiar with what the archives discovered in the boxes. It is reported that this unusual move to search the home of a former president comes as Trump's legal problems continue on multiple fronts.
Trump is expected to announce in the coming months that he will run for the White House again in 2024. An association of FBI agents announced that they have been receiving threats since the raid on the home of former US President Donald Trump, which the US Attorney General admitted that he "personally approved" to carry out, angering Republicans. "I personally agreed with the decision to request a search warrant in this case," Democratic Attorney General Merrick Garland said at an extraordinary press conference, during which he did not disclose any details of the causes and results of this operation. The association condemned the "baseless attacks" launched by Republicans against his department and the FBI.
Conservative politicians and Trump himself described the FBI as "corrupt" and "politicised" in the wake of the raid on the former president's home.
She also made threats against the FBI and the Department of Justice on social media and in conservative chat groups. "Special agents and their families should not be threatened with violence, including for the performance of their work," the FBI said in a statement. "Recent threats are contributing to an atmosphere in which some have accepted or will accept violence against law enforcement authorities," she added. In his press conference, Garland stressed that the Department of Justice "does not take this kind of decision lightly," noting that a federal judge approved the text.
He stressed "moral obligations" that prevented him from revealing the reasons for the search but stated that he had asked a Florida judge to declassify the search warrant. He pointed out, in particular, that Donald Trump himself confirmed that the issue was "important to the public interest" three months before the mid-term legislative elections. "Not only will I object to the release of the documents, but I will go further by encouraging their immediate release," Trump, who received a copy of the search warrant but did not release it, said in a statement Thursday night
