Raid on Trump home sparked by recovery of top secret info

14 Sept 18:03 Key points summarised by AI

The FBI's raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was triggered by the discovery of top-secret information, including details on human intelligence sources, within 15 boxes of records previously returned by the former president.
The unsealed affidavit confirmed a criminal investigation into the "improper removal and storage of classified information" and "unlawful concealment of government records," with numerous documents marked confidential, secret, and top secret found.
Trump denounced the raid as a "witch hunt," while his legal team argued a president possesses "absolute authority to declassify documents" and that the criminal statute regarding classified materials does not apply to him.
The probe is focused on potential violations related to the "willful retention of national defense information" under the Espionage Act and possible "obstruction of a federal investigation."

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
