"This affidavit relates to a batch of boxes of 15 boxes that were retrieved in January. It does not cover the 11 sets of classified records that the FBI retrieved in August when it searched the home.

STORYLINE:
Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate early this year contained documents with classification markings, including at the top secret level, according to an FBI affidavit released Friday explaining the justification for this month's search of the property.
The 32-page affidavit, even in its heavily redacted form, offers the most detailed description to date of the government records being stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property long after he left the White House and reveals the gravity of the government's concerns that the documents were there illegally.
