FBI agents may also have mistakenly collected privileged documents and plan to return those.
In an acknowledgment the FBI over-collected evidence during the Mar-a-Lago raid, the Justice Department informed Donald Trump's team Monday that agents seized the former president's passports and are obligated to return them, Just the News has learned.
The department was making plans Monday evening to return the passports and has also alerted defense lawyers the FBI may have obtained materials covered by various privileges that will be returned in the next two weeks, two sources told Just the News.
DOJ has designated a process for separating materials that could be covered by executive privilege or attorney client privilege, the sources said.
"Occasionally a warrant collection can grab things outside the scope authorized by the court and the department is now following a procedure we would for any person affected this way," one official said Monday night.
The sources spoke only on the condition of anonymity because the communications between the two sides are confidential.
The revelation came as Trump lawyers are discussing whether to go to court to demand a special legal officer be designated to review Trump evidence that was seized that was outside the scope of the warrant.
A former senior FBI executive said it was surprising that agents collected evidence outside the scope of the warrant because it was already worded unusually broad, unlike most warrants he said during his tenure.
"Trump’s attorneys could have a runway to argue the scope of the search is overly broad," retired Assistant FBI Director Kevin Brock said. "Search warrants normally require a level of specificity that seems to be missing in this warrant. Specificity is important in order to protect 4th Amendment rights from exuberant government overreach designed to find whatever they can."
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, whose conservative watchdog regularly sues the government to release documents and is seeking to compel release of documents in the Trump search, said the government's first court filings appear to describe an overly broad search that went far beyond classified records.
"They were engaged in a fishing expedition, and the warrant itself wasn’t about classified information, though it mentioned it," Fitton told Just the News. "It talked about all sort of other documents. It basically gave the FBI carte blanc to anything they wanted from the Trump home.
"And the fact that a judge signed off on it is very troubling," he added.
Are they still keeping the panties?
There is a lesson to be learned here. When the FBI wants to come into your home to sort through your records on behalf of the National Archives as per the “Presidential Records Act”, do NOT let them in, because it’s just a ruse to snoop & use their reports to get a search warrant to gather evidence to prosecute you with. Judging by what I’ve seen of Trump’s young pretty female lawyers…….maybe he needs some old, ugly wise lawyers.
That’s awful white of them. </s>

Here’s a twist…
“Former president Trump is not without resources and recourse in all this. Though the news media does not follow it, the Trump v Clinton lawsuit trial continues, and it might not go so well for Mrs. Clinton and her friends….
It should be pretty obvious that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was an attempt to seize evidence likely to be used in former President Donald Trump’s civil lawsuit in the Southern Florida Federal District Court against Hillary Clinton and associated defendants in and out of government for the defamation and racketeering operation known as RussiaGate — AND in any future criminal proceedings that might grow out of congressional investigations-to-come against officials past and present in the DOJ and FBI. The idea is to tie up all those documents in a legal dispute about declassification so they can’t be entered in any proceeding.”

And none of these “excess documents” have left the custody of the fib, and have not been leaked to anyone....
I also have a bridge for sale
First DOJ denied they had them. Lies and more lies.
Only thing FBI forgot to bring was a fishing pole.
Yap, Trump has no name recognition anywhere in the world /S
Fact is Trump has more name recognistion world over than any president living or dead during last 100 years.
Of course they did. Everything they took has been copied.
Yeah mistake my ass you can bet the feds already photocopied everything and are sending it to the commie media as we speak
Well those documents certainly are not privileged anymore. They have all been read and copied. And the DOJ should face criminal charges.
The doj and fbi are the enemy.
He also has a USSS detail who accompany him everywhere. The USG knows where he is at all times.
So the judge okays going through Melina’s clothes and underwear?
Well, he does blend-in well with the other presidents, at least as far as his hair is concerned - see far right of the photo below:
Every bit of material taken from Trump, no matter what the classification or importance or whatever it was about, is/was going to be read and inspected. That’s what a fishing expedition is about.
Lawyer/Client privilege? Heck, that’s the most desirable type of documents when the goal is to seek the slightest piece of ‘evidence’ with which to get Trump on. The fishing expedition was mostly to dig into the lawyer-client privileges documents, because, that’s where they believe that Trump would have talked to lawyers about the J6 events. Whatever else the media was led to believe about national secrets, was all BS. It’s all about J6 and the slightest bit of conversations with lawyers about the J6 ‘riots’, is going to be examines and turned into the ‘smoking gun’ to get Trump on
The J6 hearings didn’t produce anything with which to get Trump on, so, the only thing left to do is to go fishing at Mar-A-Lago.
All of the FIB needs to report to Gitmo, stat.
Got to be sh!tt!ng me. No right to do any of this.
