The big question about the legal legitimacy of this move comes down to this. As Alan Dershowitz had pointed out, “Searches and seizures should only be used when subpoenas are inappropriate because of the risk of evidence destruction.” The feds had already gone in and asked Trump’s people to secure the room.
