The action is to stop the bureau reviewing documents that were recovered from a raid at his Florida home
On Monday, Donald Trump filed a law suit against the US government.
He's seeking to temporarily stop the bureau reviewing documents that were recovered from a raid at his Florida home.
Trump wants a special court official to be appointed before the documents are reviewed.
The raid took place at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida earlier this month.
The search was set out to look for official records and material from Mr Trump's presidency that the National Archives believe was improperly taken from the White House.
It's reported some material sought out for was in relation to nuclear weapons.
Lawyers for the former US President have described the search as a "shockingly aggressive move".
