Trump Responds to Nuclear Documents Reports, Says It's Continuation of Russia Hoax

Former President Donald Trump said reports that the FBI was allegedly searching for documents on nuclear weapons at his Mar-a-Lago residence is a “hoax” and likened it to years-long claims that he was a Russian agent.

“Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday morning.

The former president alleged that the “same sleazy people [are] involved” in making allegations about nuclear weapons and questioned why FBI agents did not allegedly allow his lawyers to inspect their work at Mar-a-Lago on Monday. The FBI, he said, made his team “wait outside in the heat” and “wouldn’t let them get even close.”

Anonymous sources told the Washington Post and other legacy media on Thursday night that classified documents related to nuclear weapons were being searched by the FBI. It’s not clear if the FBI agents recovered anything.
