good evening once again. i m alicia menendez in for stephanie ruhle. it was nearly three weeks ago that former president trump first told the nation, the fbi was executing a search warrant at mar-a-lago. today, americans had the chance to see some of the justice s reasoning for that move. the heavily redacted affidavit that underpins the warrant has been unsealed and made public. the document supports much of which was already known about the criminal investigation to whether trump and his aides took secret government papers, and failed to return all of them, despite repeated demands from senior government officials. nbc s peter alexander has more on today s bombshell developments. reporter: the 38-page affidavit focuses on what the fbi says it found in 15 boxes mr. trump returned to the national archives in january. mixed in with newspapers, magazines, and presidential correspondents were 184 classified documents, 67 of them marked confidential. 92 marked secret. and 25
the material was marked with the highest levels of classification that exists, material that is meant to be held only in secure government facilities not at a private club where basically anyone can pay for membership and wander around. arguably, the agent s most alarming finding that we were able to see in this redacted version was that the boxes contained classified information that came from human intelligence sources meaning if the documents were mishandled, leaked or transmitted they could compromise the identity of american intelligence assets and the affidavit also lays out why doj had good reason not to believe or trust trump and his lawyers knowing that back in february of this year, after the archives notified congress that there was classified material and what they got back from mar-a-lago, trump put out a statement that very fact. investigators write this, quote, there is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified national defense
