three of his PASSPORTS during the Mar-a-Lago raid...

• Donald Trump claimed his passports were 'stolen' in the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago
• If true, he cannot leave the country 
• 'Wow. In the raid by the FBI or Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,' he said on Truth Social
• Trump likely has a regular blue passport issued to U.S. citizens and a red 'diplomatic' passport issued for official government travel
• He would have received a diplomatic passport as president 

Donald Trump on Monday claimed his passports were 'stolen' in the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago last week, which would mean he could not leave the country.

He called it an 'assault on a political opponent.' 

'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,' he wrote on his Truth Social social media account.

He likely has a regular blue passport issued to U.S. citizens and a red 'diplomatic' passport issued for official government travel. He would have received a diplomatic passport as president. 

But, without a legal passport, Trump would not be able to travel outside of the United States.

It's unclear what passports were seized, and, if it was done because the former president is considered a flight risk. It's also unclear if Trump currently has a valid passport in his possession.

Trump's office did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiry.  

His comment that it is an 'assault on a political opponnet' reflects a strategy adopted by him and his family, as they have gone on the defense, where they have accused President Joe Biden of having ordered the raid.

The White House said the president found out about the raid from public reports. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland said he 'personally approved' the raid, which was part of a federal investigation into documents Trump took with him after he left the White House. According to federal law, any presidential records are the property of the federal government.

Garland did not give any additional details about the investigation but said the Justice Department requested the warrant and inventory list be made public due to the high level of public interest in the investigation.

And the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Sunday that President Biden hasn't been briefed on it at all. 

'Not been briefed. We have not interfered,' she said on ABC's This Week. 

Trump has been battling back since he announced his Palm Beach residence was raided by federal agents, including warningthe FBI and Department of Justice that 'terrible things' will happen in the United States if the 'temperature' doesn't come down.

Trump told Fox News that he has offered to do 'whatever he can' to fix the simmering tensions because people are 'so angry at what is taking place'.
