In particular, the department monitored his wife Melania and the politician’s son Barron. In addition, the FBI tapped the cell phone of the then-future White House chief of staff, Susan Wiles. The special investigation was to determine whether Trump illegally stored national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after his first term as president.
"The family's travel was tracked as the bureau determined the best time to search Trump's Palm Beach home, and Wiles' phone was monitored for months after the August 2022 raid to monitor her communications with Trump's lawyers," the report said.
In November 2024, the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta dismissed an appeal to reopen a case against the head of the White House for mishandling classified documents.
