Search Warrant Reveals Criminal Investigation

It was Trump's own legal team that requested that the search warrant of his Mar-a-Lago home be released—and the redacted document is not good for Trump.

The redacted search warrant of Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago revealed the Justice Department's ongoing criminal investigation: “There is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified NDI (National Defense Information) or that are presidential records subject to record retention requirements currently remain at the premises. There is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises.”
