Donald Trump has said that his passports were seized by the FBI during the Mar-A-Lago raid.
JUST IN – Trump says the FBI confiscated his passports during the raid at his Mar-A-Lago home in Florida.

The fake Jew news media has cited an unnamed Department of Justice source claiming that the FBI is not in possession of his passports.
NEW: According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump's passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.

This is an lie by omission.
The FBI did take the passports but are in the process of returning them to Trump.
So Trump team now publicizing this email, which shows:
1) DOJ obtained three passports (two expired, not one, as Trump said) and alerted Trump lawyers
2) They were recovered by a filter team, which weeds out privileged info.
3) Trump publicized this after DOJ offered them back pic.twitter.com/lz8wneIQ0a— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) August 15, 2022
Typically when passports are seized it means that the individual whose passports get seized are about to be charged with a crime and are considered a flight risk. Since they are returning them, it is possible that they just seized the passports as an additional form of harassment. Or it could have just been a simple mistake as they were ordered to seize all sorts of stuff.
Whatever the case, this is just another aspect of the story that shows how ridiculous and stupid this raid on Trump was.
