removed classified documents from the white house. trump says the search was politically motivated, calling it a brake in. helen fisher has more from washington d. c. it was a remarkable moment, an f b i read on the form of a former u. s. president. donald trump revealed the search at his motto: lago property earlier this month on social media. it provoked outrage among supporters now the department of justice has released the affidavit, used to secure a search warrant, signed off by a judge. trump and his team had already handed over 15 boxes of documents he took with them when he left the white house. they should have gone to the national archives, going through the boxes. investigators found highly sensitive documents. in the 30 page affidavit which is highly censored, the f b. i laid out its case for further search, claiming they believed there were more sensitive documents of maro lago, which could injure the u. s. if they fell into the wrong hands, that despite assurances from trumps legal team,
10:10 am
all documents had been handed over. that these sensitive documents were being and properly handled. and that the material possessed could mean 3 possible crimes were being committed. is pretty hard to make out a case that is a which ut, when it has these kind of elements to it that the entire united states is being endangered by this kind of recklessness. and i do believe that he definitely is in criminal jap, reacting on his truth, social channel, donald trump said affidavit, heavily redacted. nothing mentioned on nuclear. a total public relations subterfuge by the f b i in d u a j or, or close working relationship regarding document turnover. we gave them much in the white house briefing room. there was a determination to keep the cotton president out of the political fight. we feel that it is not appropriate for us to comment on this. this is an independent investigation that the department of justice is leading. that's something that the president finds or is an important thing to do for the department of justice to
10:11 am
have that independent. we're just not gonna come in, but he did just a few minutes later, dismissing the former president's claim, he declassified all the documents. why did, why not require 5 everything in the world? i'm not going to cover that out of the detail. i want to know like what we say. it's unusual for such an affidavit to be released before charges a lead. if charges are to follow, that will be discussion at the highest levels of the department of justice in the days to come on fisher algebra, washington. the stock markets have fallen sharply in the us after the head of the federal reserve said the central bank would continue to act forcefully to battle inflation. jerome pow predicted, some pain ahead. in his remarks at a banking conference in wyoming, he says the federal reserve would use the tools at its disposal and that higher

10:13 am
weapons. and he, we are taking place at a time when russia has, as launched an invasion against the ukraine. but also threatened the use of nuclear weapons are in which deterrence has, has fairly clearly failed. and in which the vast majority of countries here actually want the m p t to tackle nuclear disarmament as well as nuclear risks and dangerous. you take the thing seriously. nuclear weapons actually have never deterred conflict. so was now what we've seen this year is that perhaps hiding behind the belief in nuclear weapons deterring, president putin of russia exercised what he thought was going to be freedom of action to invade only to find that he met with resistance. and then came the
