Federal law enforcement suspected former President Trump had violated the Espionage Act and other laws when it sought and obtained a search warrant for his Mar-a-Lago estate, according to records unsealed Friday. The unsealed warrant shows that investigators were authorized to seize any documents or records with classified markings or related to the "transmission of national defense information or classified material." The warrant also authorized the seizure of "any evidence of the knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of any government and/or Presidential Records, or of any documents with classification markings." Investigators listed 33 items that they had seized from the property, including the executive order of clemency for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and information regarding the "President of France." The receipt also included entries such as "Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents," binders of photos and a handwritten note. The inventory of documents seized during the search lays out 11 different sets of classified items seized during the search, including one set of documents as "various classified/TS/CSI documents," meaning top secret/sensitive compartmentalized information.
