good evening once again, i am stephanie ruhle. tonight, chilling breaking news about the fbi s a search of mar-a-lago. the washington post reporting agents were looking for nuclear documents. quote, classified documents related to nuclear weapons were among the items fbi agents sought in a search of former president donald trump s florida residence on monday, according to people familiar with the investigation. they did not offer additional details about what type of information the agents were seeking, including weathered involved weapons belonging to the united states or some other nation. nor did they say such documents were recovered as part of the search. one of the post reporters on that story added this earlier tonight. we know that it was a significant part of what they wanted, and when the first one went down the former president gained them 15 boxes of material. it was top secret documents in those boxes. when they came back on monday, they got 12 more boxes. this
