(NewsNation<\/a>) \u2014 At his first rally since a search warrant was executed on his Florida Mar-a-Lago residence, former President Donald Trump criticized the search as a “travesty of justice that made a mockery of America’s laws, traditions and principles.”<\/p>\n

“The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters,” he said at the rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. “They’re trying to silence me and, more importantly, they are trying to silence you. But we will not be silenced, right?”<\/p>\n

The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago in August to investigate whether Trump mishandled presidential records, and to look into the discovery of boxes of White House records, some of them classified, that were taken to the resort after the former president left office<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Trump’s comments Saturday came a day after a federal court made public a detailed inventory\u00a0of the material seized in the search. In the inventory, the contents of 33 boxes taken from an office and a storage room at Trump’s Florida home were disclosed. <\/p>\n

The inventory, while not describing the documents, shows the extent to which classified information was kept in boxes and containers at the home and mixed in among newspapers, magazines, clothing and other personal items. It shows that the FBI seized more than 100 documents with classification markings in August, including 18 marked top secret, 54 secret and 31 confidential. <\/p>\n
