According to Reuters reported on August 13, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Friday that the Federal Investigation Agency (FBI) agents found 11 boxes of classification documents from former US President Trump's home in Florida this week, including being labeled as " Files of the highest secret ". The Ministry of Justice also disclosed the reason for the search, because Trump is likely to violate the "Spy Law". If he is convicted, he will face a maximum 10 -year imprisonment.

Suspected of violating the "Spy Law"

These explosive messages come from a search order signed by the US local judge and the federal agent search for document information disclosed 4 days later. The "Spy Law" is one of the three laws cited for the time -to -time search order. The law can be traced back to 1917, and it will set the behavior that endangers national security information as a crime.

Trump issued a statement on the social media platform he created that these documents were decrypted documents and kept in a safe place.

"They don't need to seize anything at all. They can take away any documents they want at any time, and they can't use political means to raid Search Haihu Manor." Said the politician of the Republican businessman.

This search is part of the federal survey. The survey was confirmed that in January 2021, when Trump lost to Biden in the presidential election, he took away the relevant documents when he left the White House two months after leaving the White House.

Although the Federal Investigation Bureau has moved away from a file with confidentiality on Monday, regardless of whether the document is confidential, the three laws quoted by the time of search order are guilty to dispose of government records. Therefore, Trump claims that these documents have been decrypted and will not have any impact.

If the conviction is facing the maximum 10 -year imprisonment

A list shows that the Federal Investigation Bureau agents have taken away more than 30 items, including more than 20 boxes of files, folders equipped with photos, a handwritten notebook, and the administrative department forgive the Trump alliance and long -term consultant Roger Stone document. In addition, the list also includes information about French president. According to CNN, the French embassy refused to comment on this.

The search order showed that the Federal Investigation Agency was ordered to search for all places where Trump and his team could store boxes and documents in the manor, including a room called "45 Office" (Trump is the 45th president).

The Ministry of Justice said in a search order that there was a reason to believe that there was a suspected violation of the "Spy Law" in Trump's family, which was approved by the US local judge Bruce Line Hart.

The decree was originally established to combat spy activities.

Earlier, the prosecution initiated according to this decree was not common. Until under the leadership of Trump and his predecessor Obama, the Ministry of Justice increased its efforts to hunt up the leakage of national security information, including leaking to news media.

In addition, the law that the search order was cited involved "prohibiting unauthorized obtaining national defense information", but it did not explain in detail why investigators believed that such illegal acts occurred.

In recent years, the U.S. Department of Justice has used the Anti -Spy Law in some highly anticipated cases, including Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor Employer Employee, and former military intelligence analysts Chelsea Manning, and WikiLeak Decrypted founders Julian Assange.

The application also enumerated the reasons why Trump might violate the other two laws. These two laws stipulate that it is illegal to hide or destroy US official documents.

According to CNN, if Trump is convicted, it will face up to 10 years in prison.

"Self -claiming the decryption file" is an invalid defense

Trump is facing many federal surveys and state surveys on his position and business period. These include a case investigated by the Ministry of Justice alone and about the false voters who submitted a false voters who tried to overthrow the failure of the 2020 presidential election. The search on Haihu Manor on Monday marks the heavy upgrade of Trump's related investigations.

On Wednesday, he cited the fifth amendment when he accepted the New York State Attorney General's civil survey of his family business behavior, saying that he had the right to confirm his sin given by the Constitution and refused to answer any questions.

On Thursday, the US Minister of Justice Galan announced that the Ministry of Justice applied for a public search order to the Florida Federal Federal Judge Ryinhart. Earlier, Trump claimed that the search was a political retaliation and hinted without evidence that the Federal Investigation Bureau might have planted him.

Some legal experts said that if Trump is facing allegations, he claims that he has decrypted these materials and will become invalid defense.

Heidi Kitrose, a professor of law at Northwestern University in the United States, said in the "Spy Law" that the law did not even have strict requirements, as long as the information related to national defense could be listed as confidential.

This year, the State Archives and Records Administration, which is responsible for protecting the presidential record, submitted a report to the Ministry of Justice, and then the investigation of Trump's transfer record began.

On Friday, the Republican members of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee asked the Minister of Justice Galan and the Federal Investigation Agency Director Chris Rey to openly search for an oath, and said that the public needed to know.

"Because they have many other options, we are deeply concerned about the way to attack Haihu Manor." The Republican leader and member of the House Intelligence Committee Michael Turner told reporters.

Turner also said that if the oath is still uninteresting, it will still leave many difficult problems.

When the Ministry of Justice applied for decryption search order, he did not require an oath of decryption, and Trump's legal team did not publicize such a motion.

After the search on Monday, the Ministry of Justice was facing fierce attacks and online storms, and Galande condemned it.

Trump's supporters and some Republicans in Washington accused Democrats of arguing the federal institutions and intentionally targeted him when Trump considered the president in 2024.
