WASHINGTON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - U.S. federal agents were looking for documents relating to nuclear weapons when they raided former President Donald Trump's home in Florida this week, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
It was not clear if such documents were recovered at the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, the Post said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

* The possibility that sensitive federal records were brought to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left office has raised concerns for months: The National Archives said six months ago a trove of records recovered from Mar-a-Lago earlier this year included “classified national security information,” and the Post reported in February some of those documents were so sensitive that the government can’t even describe them publicly.
* However, the nuclear documents that were apparently among the items sought in Monday’s search are particularly sensitive and closely guarded, former Department of Justice counterintelligence chief David Laufman told the Post.
* Forbes has reached out to Trump’s office and the DOJ for comment.
** WHAT WE DON’T KNOW
It’s not clear what other kinds of documents the FBI sought during the raid, or what crimes they believe may have been committed. A copy of the search warrant—which would offer more details about the raid—remains under seal, but the Department of Justice has petitioned a Florida federal court to release it publicly, and Trump’s attorneys have until Friday afternoon to respond to the motion. **
