Trump's Passports Allegedly CONFISCATED by the FBI in Mar-a-Lago Search - Meidas Touch



Donald Trump stated three of his passports were taken by the FBI when they executed a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago, indicating that he may be a flight risk. Also, Donald Trump should no longer have a special diplomatic passport, so if indeed one of the passports taken was the diplomatic passport that Trump should have returned, Trump may have just admitted to another crime.

They actually did have his passports and are returning them to him. Just saw on Twitter - not defending him but did see that this fact was different than reported. I think this is such a crazy circumstance that is so unprecedented that there is a fog of war situation happening.

he will claim (falsely) that the FBI took them.

I think he is planning to flee.

IMHO of course.
