Donald Trump is under investigation by the FBI on espionage-related charges, but it is still not fully clear how deep these allegations go.

The FBI left the former President's villa at Mar-a-Lago with 11 boxes of sensitive documents, some classified and highly secretive. A box that was seized had an 'intriguing' label, which said it was about the "President of France".

Another box contained the letter Trump wrote pardoning his old friend and ally Roger Stone.

Confirmation of what was taken was revealed in a bill the FBI left after carrying out their check, giving a summary of the materials it had seized.

The FBI raid relates to an investigation intended to uncover whether the former president removed classified data and other sensitive material from the White House.

The publication of the order does not include the evidence given that led to the search. According to several reports in U.S. media, a source within Trump's team had helped the FBI identify the location of allegedly mistreated documents.

According to the Washington Post, citing anonymous sources Thursday evening, documents regarding nuclear weapons were among the materials the FBI was seeking. Sources did not tell the newspaper whether the information included American nuclear weapons, or any other nation.

Authorities made public a Florida federal judge's order authorizing FBI agents to search "Office 45," referring to Trump as America's 45th president - as well as "all storage rooms" and all rooms used by Trump and his staff in which boxes and materials could be stored.

The order specifically excludes designated areas from check-in, including private suites for friends, or other items that are rented, or where friends and guests and other members of the golf club, Trump's favorite sport, live.
