Donald Trump took 300 classified documents with him when he left the White House, reports say.
The scale of the former president’s cache of files is what pushed the Justice Department to launch their unprecedented raid on August 8, according to The New York Times.
The paper reported the first tranche of 150 classified documents were returned to the National Archives in January.

In the August search, FBI agents removed 26 boxes, including 11 sets of material marked as classified.
One set had the highest level of classification, top secret/sensitive compartmented information.
