specific leather case



Aides to former President Donald Trump believe that a member of his family may have tipped off the FBI about the presence of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, The Guardian reported.

Multiple sources close to Trump told the publication that after the August 8 search of Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida, aides began speculating about who could have been speaking to the agency.

In the search, agents took more than a dozen boxes of items, as well as highly classified information. They appeared to have specific information about what to look for.

Speculation initially focused on Trump's political aides, and resort staff at Mar-a-Lago, the outlet's sources said, before shifting to those closer to Trump.
