China News Service, August 11. According to comprehensive foreign media reports, people familiar with the matter confirmed that the FBI took boxes and documents when they raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
An official said "some" or "possibly all" of the documents seized contained classified material.
The FBI raid is just one of five potential criminal investigations Trump could face, Bloomberg said.

Two senior U.S. government officials told Newsweek that the raid was largely based on information provided by an FBI informant who was able to determine which classified documents Trump was still hiding and even knew where they were located.
In addition to the FBI raid, four other potential criminal investigations include an investigation by the New York state attorney general against the Trump Organization.
Trump, citing the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, refused to answer questions when he appeared at the New York State Attorney General's Office on the 10th.
Another investigation comes from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Bragg has accused the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer of alleged tax avoidance and has not ruled out a lawsuit against Trump.
In addition, Attorney Fani Willis in Fulton County, Indiana, opened an investigation into Trump's alleged interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
It is reported that Trump had called Secretary of State Raffinsburg during the campaign, asking the latter to "find" enough votes to help him reverse the defeat.
The U.S. Justice Department has also launched an investigation, mainly into Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
