Judge Unseals Mar-a-Lago Raid Warrant, Reveals Why FBI Is Investigating Trump

The seven-page warrant that authorized the FBI to search former President Donald Trump's property earlier this week was unsealed Friday, and it shows that Trump is under federal investigation for obstruction of justice and other alleged violations.

Trump is under investigation for alleged violations of 18 USC 2071-concealment, removal, or mutilation; 18 USC 793 of the Espionage Act-gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information; and 18 USC 1519-destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, according to the warrant, which was unsealed by Judge Bruce Reinhart on Friday afternoon.

"The Biden administration is in obvious damage control after their botched raid where they seized the President's picture books, a 'hand-written note,' and declassified documents," Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich told Fox News as the warrant was unsealed Friday.

The Department of Justice on Thursday filed a motion to unseal the warrant unless Trump objects to the move.

"Not only will I not oppose the release of the documents," Trump wrote Thursday, referring to the FBI's warrant.

On Friday, Trump posted that the documents the FBI alleged seized were "All declassified" and agents "They could have had anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago." He added, "It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request."

Since Monday, several GOP lawmakers have called on federal agencies to release the affidavit, which would provide more details as to what information the FBI was acting upon when it attempted to obtain the warrant.
