The White House announced that the FBI had returned boxes of documents to former President Donald Trump that were confiscated during a search of his Florida property for classified materials that were allegedly taken after he left office. Trump celebrated the return of the boxes in a post on Truth Social, claiming that the Department of Justice had returned them as part of an attack on a political opponent that did not work. White House staffers were seen loading roughly 15 boxes onto Air Force One to be returned to Florida. The White House communications director stated that the FBI was returning Trump’s property taken during “unlawful and illegal raids.” Counselor to the president Alina Habba criticized the special counsel who probed Trump’s handling of classified documents, calling it a “hoax.” Habba stated that the boxes contained President Trump’s personal items that needed to be returned to him. The case against Trump for retaining national defense information and conspiring to obstruct justice was dismissed last year, and the Justice Department dropped its case against his co-defendants. Trump had pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing in the case.
