“They took a lot. I think they took my will. I found out yesterday,” said the twice-impeached ex-president during an appearance on Fox News’ host Sean Hannity’s eponymous nightly programme.
Mr Trump told Hannity his attorneys and the National Archives and Records Administration were “having very nice discussions, no problems,” when “all of a sudden we got hit very hard by the FBI” on 8 August.
When the twice-impeached ex-president suggested that FBI agents had taken his will, Hannity responded: “Am I in it?”
Mr Trump did not say. But he added that publication of his will “could cause a lot of problems”.
