The FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate sent reverberations across the USA, even before court papers were unsealed Friday showing agents recovered documents labelled “top secret” as they investigated potential violations of three laws, including one that governs defence information under the Espionage Act.Trump has said the documents seized by agents were “all declassified", and argued that he would have turned them over to the Justice Department if asked.
