Now We Know the Three Crimes Donald Trump Allegedly Committed from the FBI’s Search Warrant
by Kyle Becker August 12, 2022
The three crimes that Donald Trump allegedly committed by reportedly removing classified documents and storing them at his Mar-A-Lago statement have been revealed according to the FBI’s search warrant.
The FBI’s search warrant lists three crimes, per a new exclusive report from Breitbart News:
18 USC 2071 — Concealment, removal or mutilation
18 USC 793 — Gathering, transmitting or losing defence information
18 USC 1519 — Destruction, alteration or falsification of records in Federal investigations
The search warrant lists “three criminal statutes under which items are to be searched and seized,” Breitbart News reported. “They are: 18 U.S.C. section 793, which deals with defense information; 18 U.S.C. section 1519, which deals with destroying federal documents; and 18 U.S.C. section 2071, which deals with concealing, removing, or damaging federal documents. The first statute is the one that has likely provoked media speculation about so-called ‘nuclear’ documents: it applies to a broad range of defense ‘information,’ from code books to ordinary photographs.”
The FBI search warrant affidavit thus shows that Donald Trump is under investigation for potential obstruction of justice and violations of the Espionage Act.
Donald Trump reacted to the accusation that he committed these crimes on Truth Social on Friday afternoon.
“Number one, it was all declassified,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Number two, they didn’t need to ‘seize’ anything. They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago. It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request.”
