Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Unsealed: Donald Trump May Have Violated Espionage Act, Committed Felonies

The search warrant from the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida was finally unsealed, revealing plenty of cases against the former president.

The warrant cited three crimes that Trump is being investigated for, all of which can be considered felonies. According to the documents acquired by the Associated Press, these investigations include violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice, and the criminal handling of government records.

CNN reported that the inclusion of these crimes indicates that the Justice Department has probable cause to investigate them as part of their evidence gathering.

Politico reported that Espionage Act is not just about spying but also the refusal to return national security documents upon request. If found guilty, Donald Trump may be imprisoned and face fines.

Receipt of Items Seized From Mar-a-Lago Home in Florida Also Released. What Did Donald Trump Try To Keep?

The FBI had taken several documents from the Mar-a-Lago home in their search. With the unsealing of the warrant, authorities also revealed the receipt of the items removed from the Trump estate.

These include several classified documents, including one set of documents labeled "top secret/SCI." The documents belong to the highest classification of documents considered the most sensitive.

Also recovered from the Mar-a-Lago home were four sets of "top secret" documents, three sets of "secret" documents, and three sets of "confidential" documents.

Donald Trump argued that he had already declassified those documents. However, legal and national security experts argued that his declassification arguments will not hold up.

The FBI also took several other non-confidential documents, which may be for the investigation regarding Donald Trump's criminal handling of government records. These include a document about pardoning ally Roger Stone and some material about the "President of France."

Florida Judge Getting Threats From Donald Trump Supporters For Signing Warrant

Records show that U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart was the one who signed the search warrant at 12:12 p.m. last Friday.

It led to the FBI agents executing the warrants on Monday, but Donald Trump was in New York. The judge found probable cause in the three investigations against the former president.

However, the judge is now facing threats for his actions from Trump supporters. Forums dedicated to Trump have featured threats to people involved in the investigation, such as the judge, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the FBI.

According to CNN, one user posted "kill all feds" in one of the pro-Trump forums, while others encouraged people to reveal the address of the judge's home.

Another user wrote: "This is the piece of sh*t judge who approved FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago... I see a rope around his neck."

This was the same forum where Donald Trump supporters also discussed attacking police officers during the weeks leading up to the January 6 Capitol insurrection. According to CNN, several users in the forum were also convicted as Capitol rioters.
