Axios PM

FBI agents who searched Mar-a-Lago on Monday removed 11 sets of classified information from the Trump property, including some marked "top secret," The Wall Street Journal reports (subscription).

• Why it matters: The inventory — which was reviewed by The Journal, along with the search warrant — confirms the FBI removed classified documents meant to be kept in secure government facilities.

Why it matters: The revelations undercut Trump and his allies' claims that the search warrant was baseless, Axios' Alayna Treene notes.

The full contents of the documents are unknown.

• The Justice Department is seeking to unseal the warrant and inventory.
• Trump's lawyers won't object to the release of the warrant, per the Justice Department.

The FBI found four sets of "top secret documents," three sets of "secret documents" and three sets of "confidential documents" — all of which the Justice Department argues are federal property, The Journal says.

• The FBI seized roughly 20 boxes of materials in total, including binders, handwritten notes, the executive grant of clemency for Roger Stone, and information about the "President of France."
• One set of documents was labeled "Various classified/TS/SCI documents," referring to top-secret and sensitive compartmented information.

Trump's lawyers argue the president used his authority to declassify the documents while still in office.

Author Salman Rushdie was attacked on stage and "suffered an apparent stab wound to the neck" at an event in Chautauqua, N.Y., about 55 miles south of Buffalo, state police said.

• Rushdie, 75, spent nearly a decade in hiding after he faced death threats and a bounty for his murder from the Iranian government in the late 1980s.

⚡ The latest: Rushdie was taken by helicopter to a hospital, officials said. His condition wasn't immediately known, AP said.

• A trooper at the event immediately took the suspect into custody, state police said.

The attack comes just days after the Justice Department unsealed charges against an Iranian operative for allegedly plotting to assassinate former Trump national security adviser John Bolton.
