If this information is correct, Donald Trump could not leave the country.
In his social network “Truth” he was surprised by this new development in this unprecedented search.
“Incredible! During the search, the FBI agents stole my three passports, one of which was expired, along with everything else. This is an attack on a political opponent on a scale never seen before.
According to the Chron, Donald Trump has a passport that is issued to all US citizens and a “diplomatic” document that is issued to all US government officials.
The information has not been confirmed by US authorities.
The federal prosecutor told media representatives that he had “approved” the search without giving further details.
A total of 27 boxes of documents were seized by US federal officers.
