It is claimed that three civilian planes invaded the airspace of US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida which led to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) dispatching F-16 jet fighters. According to the Daily Mail, the F-16 fighter jets deployed flares and escorted the three civilian aircrafts out of the area. The breaches of airspace occurred at eleven hours and five minutes, twelve hours and ten minutes, and twelve hours and fifty minutes. The report further noted that it remained unknown why the three planes decided to make their way into Palm Beach airspace as they have had such occurrences regularly in the past weeks.

In total, three violations were registered. Two of them were on February 15 and another one was on February 17, which was Presidents Day. F-16 fighter jets were said to have responded to the violation of the airspace over Wellington, a community that is more inland. NORAD had also reported another civilian aircraft flying into Palm Beach on February 18. The jets made use of flares which are usually used for signal purposes and that like "We have the utmost respect for safety. They burn out quickly and completely and pose no danger."

In another development, Trump said that boxes of classified documents that have already been returned to him and that he intends to display in his presedential library are the ones the FBI took from his Mar-a-Lago house during the investigation of possible wrongdoing in 2022, and that he does one day intend to display them in his presedential libary.

According to AFP, Trump stated that the Justice Department, now headed by his former appointees had returned the boxes with “top secret documents” he claimed the FBI seized alongside other materials he improperly took with him after his first presidential term.
