The seven-page warrant that authorized the FBI to search former President Donald Trump’s property on Aug. 8 was unsealed Aug. 12, 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 Aug. 12. A conviction under these statutes can lead to imprisonment or fines.
