Trump's house search... What are the reasons and what did the investigators find?

When FBI agents went to search former US President Donald Trump's home in Florida, it unleashed a political storm unlike anything in recent memory.

The move raised many questions, amid criticism from the Republican Party.

So let's take a step back, and here are the highlights:

What are the reasons for searching Trump's home ?

In short, because the US Department of Justice suspects that the former president may have committed a crime.

The search warrant, which was released, shows that FBI agents collected evidence on August 8 as part of an investigation into whether Trump mishandled government records by moving them from the White House to his Florida home.

It should be noted here that US presidents must transfer all of their documents and emails to a government agency, called the National Archives.

Earlier this year, that agency said it had recovered 15 boxes of papers from Trump's home that he should have turned over when he left the White House. She said it contained classified information and asked the Justice Department to investigate.

To obtain a search warrant, prosecutors had to convince the judge that they had reason to believe a crime might have occurred. We also know that efforts to obtain a search warrant were signed by the attorney general.

What did the investigators find?

Twenty boxes of documents, according to an inventory that was disclosed along with the search warrant on Friday.
