The\u2064 FBI conducted a raid on his\u200d Mar-a-Lago estate before \u2064a special counsel was appointed\u2062 to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump&#8217;s lawyers \u200bargued against \u200dstrict\u200b security protocols for reviewing the classified evidence, suggesting that they should be able to do so\u2064 in \u2062his office\u200c at Mar-a-Lago. \u2062However, \u200cU.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon disagreed, \u2062stating that it would be inappropriate\u2063 for him to review such documents at the location where they were allegedly stored illegally.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The\u200d Court finds that this\u2063 case will involve information that has been classified in the interest of \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-got-it-newsmax-reporter-emerald-robinson-national-security-source-confirms-a-piece-of-hardware-has-been-secured-in-germany\/\" title=\"We Got It! - Newsmax Reporter Emerald Robinson: National Security Source Confirms \"A Piece of Hardware Has Been Secured\" in Germany\">national security<\/a>.
