— Steven Portnoy September 5, 2022 LINDSEY GRAHAM PREDICTS RIOTS IF TRUMP IS PROSECUTED OVER CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS Trump is under investigation for possible violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice over his handling of documents after leaving office, according to the unsealed search warrant. Trump claims he declassified all the documents stored at Mar-a-Lago, as the Justice Department says dozens of records and empty folders with classified markings were found, and the former president has denied any wrongdoing.
A government"filter team" has"already completed its work of segregating any seized materials that are potentially subject to attorney-client privilege, and the government’s investigative team has already reviewed all of the remaining materials, including any that are potentially subject to claims of executive privilege," the DOJ filing added.
