In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, "Oh great! In its now-famous raid of Mar-a-Lago, it has just been learned that the FBI took boxes of privileged 'attorney-client' material, and also 'executive' privileged material, which they knowingly should not have taken."
Trump added, "By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. Thank you!"
Several reports have suggested that the items removed from Mar-a-Lago last Monday — or three days after the FBI/Department of Justice got a search warrant (signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart) — outside of the 11 sets of potentially classified materials.

The Florida judge who signed off on the search warrant authorizing the raid of Mar-a-Lago had ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the New York Post reports.
Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the warrant that allowed federal agents to descend on Trump's South Florida estate Monday in what the 45th president described as an "unannounced raid on my home."
Following 10 years in private practice, Reinhart was promoted to a magistrate judge in March 2018, according to the Post.
