Donald Trump has claimed his passports were "stolen" in the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago last week, which could mean he can't leave the country.
The former President moaned the FBI's taking was an “assault on a political opponent”.
Taking to his own Truth Social website on Monday, he wrote: “Wow.
"In the raid by the FBI or Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never before seen in our country. Third World."
It is not clear which passports were taken during the FBI search of his Florida property, but Trump is known to have a regular blue passport issued to US citizens and a red 'diplomatic' one.
He would have received a diplomatic passport as president.
If all his documents have been removed it would render him marooned within the States and unable to travel.
Trump is being investigated under America’s espionage act, according to the warrant that led to his home being “raided”.
According to the document that was unsealed last week, agents were authorised to search the "45 Office" - which refers to Trump being America's 45th president.
They were also cleared to look at "all storage rooms" and all rooms used by Trump and his staff in which boxes could be stored at his Mar-A-Lago home.
Agents were looking for classified documents suspected of being taken from the White House when Trump left office in January last year.
Anyone found guilty of such an offence faces up to five years in prison for each count.
Representatives for Trump have said he had the authority as president to de-classify all of the recovered documents before he left office and did so.
