fbi felt the search was necessary. one clue may come from a stunning new report in the washington post. fbi agents were looking for classified documents related to america s nuclear program. that s according to people familiar with the investigation. nbc news has not confirmed that report. this morning trump called it a hoax. one of his attorneys was asked about it on fox. she was not quite so explicit. is it your understanding there were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues that had national security implications in the president s possession when the agents showed up at mar-a-lago? that s correct. do you know for a fact? have you spoken to the president about it? i have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there. i do not believe there were any in there. i want to bring in justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. charles kohlman is a former prosecutor. c ....
Present at mar-a-lago and might have information about confidential sources and discuss the larger context of the investigation. a lot of secrets stuff in there. the justice department wants to protect. so what they are asking to unseal is the face of the warrant. a one-page document. then an appendix that would list the things the fbi was looking to seeds and an inventory or a receipts page that lists the documents they did seize. and the real question is going to be how detailed are the nations. how are they describing the documents. if they are classified, they can t get into details. so it likely will be general. i m told we will learn things from this document about the seriousness of this investigation and the sensitivity of some of these documents that were found at mar-a-lago. so the the doj does not want to unseal the affidavit for probable cause. remind us what that is and why would the doj not want to make that public right now? ....

What is next? what s the fbi doing to get this information? what are they going to do with it moving forward? going to continue to talk to their informants to make sure there s not any additional information housed anywhere else and they cover the volume of the unverse of documents that were unavailable and weren t able to get subpoena. that s the first thing. then there s going to be an independent review of what it was they were able to recover from mar-a-lago. after that it will point to the larger investigation. if this really was just a matter of getting back documents that weren t supposed to be there, we probably won t hear much more about it. if it is a part of a larger investigation, that s when we will likely see from this what was recovered, we were able to identify these things that are going to speak to whatever larger question merrick garland and the doj are looking to absentee. ken mentioned this. what we re seeing in the wall street journal report doesn t mention ....
