  • The warrant directed agents to seize all documents, “fruits of crime” and other items “illegally possessed” in violation of three laws related to handling of government documents.

Understanding the Mar-a-Lago search warrant

The search warrant associated with the FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home in Florda was unsealed Friday by the Department of Justice. Records reveal that the FBI recovered numerous classified documents from the Mar-a-Lago estate and indicated that the former president is under investigation for several potential crimes, including possible violations of the Espionage Act. Kel B. McClanahan, head of the nonprofit public law firm National Security Counselors, explains what the warrant means — and why some defenses may not hold water.

 

Trump Warrant Revealed: Receipts Show Search Was Valid

The Department of Justice unseals the Trump search warrant from his Mar-A-Lago home. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, reports on the sweeping FBI search, the damning warrant list, the 21 boxes of evidence taken, and how Trump allegedly kept hiding material he improperly took from The White House. The DOJ warrant list alleges Trump was hiding secret materials that can only be viewed at a secure facility. Pulitzer Prize Winning Columnist for the Washington Post Eugene Robinson calls it “unthought of” and former CIA officer David Priess adds having this material at Trump’s home is a “grave danger.”

FBI executes search warrant at Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago

A legal barrier has been broken – a maiden legal voyage has been taken:
the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. This is a historic law enforcement move by the Department of Justice.

Importantly, in order to obtain a search warrant for Trump’s home, a federal judge had to have concluded that there was probable cause to believe there is evidence of federal crimes on the property of Mar-a-Lago.

This video discusses what we know about this monumental development, what we don’t know, and what the DOJ should now do on the transparency front to promote a full and accurate understanding of the state of the criminal investigation that prompted today’s search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

 

The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s crimes, and Kevin McCarthy’s political thuggery

One day after a judicially authorized search warrant was executed at Trump’s home/resort in Florida, Kevin McCarthy took to the airwaves, threatening Merrick Garland that he better “preserve documents” and “clear his calendar” for the endless oversight hearings McCarthy intends to hold if the Republicans take control of the House of Representative after the midterm elections.

The fact of the matter is, McCarthy has no earthly idea what the evidence is supporting the Mar-a-Lago search warrants. Still, McCarthy claims that Garland has “politicized” and “weaponized” the Department of Justice, and McCarthy promises payback. McCarthy’s attempt to assist Trump in avoiding accountability for his crimes feels . . . accessory-after-the-fact-ish. (see 18 US Code, section 3).
