Former President Donald Trump is under investigation for violations of the Espionage Act and agents seized 11 sets of classified materials from his Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this week, according to a copy of the search warrant released Friday.
The warrant authorized the FBI raid Monday on Mr. Trump’s residence at the private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, setting off a partisan firestorm over the first-ever federal search of a former president’s home. The severity of the crime, which harkens back to the FBI’s longtime probe of Trump-Russia collusion, promises to further fuel Republicans’ outrage over the Biden administration’s pursuit of the former president.
