The FBI was reportedly searching former US president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Largo estate for documents relating to nuclear weapons.
Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach was raided by the FBI on Tuesday in relation to an investigation into highly sensitive material taken from the White House towards the end of his presidency.

The Attorney-General also said the Justice Department had filed a request in court that the search warrant and property receipt from the search be unsealed meaning the public could learn more about what investigators were looking for.
