11 sets of files, die bbc classified nennt Was: "Das FBI hatte in […]

Es ist zwar strittig, ob die noch classified waren (dann dürften die FBI-Leute das wohl potentiell gar nicht sehen), aber bbc und dpa-afx berichten mal wieder ohne "mutmaßlich". Ist zwar Vorverurteilung und LaMDA bekäme sofort einen Bugfix, aber Journalisten brauchen sich ja anscheinend nicht an Ethik-Richtlinien zu halten.

Welche 11 Themengebiete das wohl waren, von denen teilweise die nationale Sicherheit abhängt? 9/11? MH370? Maidan? Mursi?

What we do and don't know about the FBI search of Trump's home

What did the agents find?

Twenty boxes worth of material, according to an inventory released alongside the search warrant.

The FBI took 11 sets of classified files in total, including four that were labelled "top secret". Three sets were classified as "secret documents" and three were "confidential".

The cache also included files marked "TS/SCI", a designation for the country's most important secrets that if revealed publicly could cause "exceptionally grave" damage to US national security.

Some of these files were only meant to be kept in secure government facilities, according to court documents.

But the court records do not indicate what information these documents could contain, and there is much we do not know about the items on the inventory.

For example, other materials taken include a binder of photos, a handwritten note and unspecified information about the "President of France".

What has Trump said?

Yes - the former president has been vocal about the FBI search and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

He said the documents taken by the agents were "all declassified" and had been placed in "secure storage". He said he would have turned them over if the justice department had asked.

His office later issued a statement maintaining that the documents had been declassified. "The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the president of the United States," it read.

While Mr Trump says he declassified the documents before he left office - and his allies have insisted the president has the authority to do this - legal analysts argue it is more complicated than that.

"Presidents can declassify information, but they have to follow a procedure," Tom Dupree, a lawyer who previously worked in the justice department," told the BBC. "They can't simply say these documents are declassified. They have to follow a process [and it is] not clear that was followed."

Mr Trump's office, however, disputes that the president needs to follow an approval process. "The idea that some paper-pushing bureaucrat... needs to approve of declassification is absurd," it said.
