The Insider reports:
The Justice Department is investigating if former President Donald Trump violated three federal laws involving the handling of national security information when he moved government records from the White House to Mar-a-Lago upon leaving office.
That’s according to the right-wing news website Breitbart, which appeared to have obtained the warrant the FBI got to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in south Florida.
Per the warrant, the feds are scrutinizing if Trump broke laws against gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information; the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records; and the concealment, removal, or mutilation of records. The statute against gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information is a key facet of the Espionage Act.

Garland called Trump out to make warrant public.
Trump tried to get one over on Garland, releasing warrant to Breitbart, w/out redacting FBI agents names.
That’s right, Trump doxxed FBI agents serving a legal search warrant.
Once again, Trump is inciting violence.

Trump apparently leaked the warrant to Breitbart. The DOJ had sought to redact or shield the names of agents involved. Trump took no caution. The Breitbart article has names of agents, which obviously puts a target on their back. Reprehensible. Trump needs to be stopped. Enough.

Predictably, Trump RELEASED the warrant with the names of the FBI agents unredacted. The one that will be released will redact those names.
