Is Trump really that stupid?
In a post around 1:30 p.m. ET Monday on Truth Social, the former President's social media platform, Trump claimed the FBI "stole" three passports.
Removal of a passport by law enforcement is serious business, indicating possible guilt and flight from justice.
Trump admits publicly the FBI removed his passport. (Two had expired.)
Fortunately for Trump, it isn't all that bad for him, but he didn't know that at the time.
CBS reports, "Passports belonging to former President Donald Trump that were taken by the FBI during the search conducted at his South Florida residence last week have been returned to the former president, a law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News.
"The source said the passports were given back to Trump after they were discovered by a "filter team," a group of federal investigators who screen the materials seized during the execution of a search warrant for privileged or extraneous information.
"The FBI said in a statement that when executing search warrants, the bureau "follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that we do not need to be retained for law enforcement purposes."
Is Trump losing it?
