Donald Trump claimed FBI agents seized his medical records while executing a search warrant to retrieve classified documents at Mar-a-Lago last month.
“Not only did the FBI steal my Passports in the FBI Raid and Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, but it has just been learned through court filings that they also improperly took my complete and highly confidential medical file and history, with all the bells and whistles (at least they’ll see that I’m very healthy, an absolutely perfect physical specimen!), plus personal Tax Records (Illegal to take), and lawyer/client/privileged information, a definite NO, NO. Days of the Soviet Union!” Trump wrote in a post on his social media app Truth Social.
Trump’s last physical before he left the White House shows that he was clinically obese.
Trump’s comments come after US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, revealed in a court order that the documents taken from the former president’s home included “medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” according to Insider.
“In addition to being deprived of potentially significant personal documents, which alone creates a real harm, plaintiff faces an unquantifiable potential harm by way of improper disclosure of sensitive information to the public'” Cannon added.
FBI agents were ordered to search Trump’s office, “all storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored” at his Mar-a-Lago club, according to the search warrant.
They were also ordered to seize “any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together” with the boxes containing classified documents.
Agents retrieved some 11,000 documents during the search, some of which were classified and marked as “top secret,” according to court filings.
