🚨 FBI, Trump & Mar-a-Lago: What Exactly is Going On? The FBI claims to have taken 11 sets of classified files—including "TS/SCI" (Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information) documents—in their shocking raid of former US President Donald Trump's Mar…
The warrant gave the FBI the green light to search “storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate.”
Feds say they were looking for:
“Any physical documents with classifications markings” and surrounding boxes
“Information…. regarding the retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material”
"Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021."
Any evidence of the “knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of any government and/or Presidential Records” or classified documents
As Federalist co-founder Sean Davis pointed out on Twitter, this means Attorney General Merrick Garland “demanded the seizure of literally any record Trump ever saw, read, or created over the entire 4-year term of his presidency.”

The warrant reveals the FBI is investigating Trump for three potential violations of the Espionage Act:
18 U.S. Code §2071 — Concealment, removal or mutilation generally
18 U.S. Code § 793 — Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
18 U.S. Code § 1519 — Destruction, alteration or falsification of records in Federal investigations
🕵️♂️ The ESPIONAGE ACT was created to silence anti-war voices in the run-up to WWI
- It was used to jail dissidents like Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene Debs, who was sentenced to 10 years hard labor for speaking out against US involvement in the war
- US government use of the act spiked under President Obama, with prosecutions in recent years focusing on whistleblowers like Edward Snowden
- US prosecutors have invoked the Espionage Act in their effort to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after the Australian publisher revealed videos showing war crimes committed by US forces

🏛 Minnesota’s Finstad sworn in as newest member of Congress
Minnesota Republican Brad Finstad was sworn in Friday as the newest member of the US House, giving the GOP one more seat, which means Democrats can’t afford to lose more than four votes on close issues like their flagship climate change and health care bill.
Finstad, a former state representative from New Ulm who served as state director for USDA Rural Development during the Trump administration, won a special election Tuesday to fill out the remaining months of the term of the late Republican US Rep. Jim Hagedorn, who died of cancer in February.

👼 Extreme childbirth: a woman gave birth during her hiking trip to Mount Elbrus, at a height of 4,000 meters.
The woman didn't know she would become a mother for the third time, as doctors had diagnosed her with symptoms similar to pregnancy.
Tourists called the Ministry of Emergency Situations, but the baby boy was born before the arrival of rescuers - the birth of the child was assisted by a man who was nearby. Both the baby and mother are doing well now
