Former US President Donald Trump has asked a judge to freeze the justice department’s investigation of files seized from his Mar-a-Lago home.

Eleven sets of classified files were taken from Mr Trump’s Florida estate on 8 August, according to the FBI.

US presidents must transfer all of their documents and emails to a government agency called the National Archive.

He has denied any wrongdoing and said the items were declassified.
