The FBI search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate marked a dramatic and unprecedented escalation of the law enforcement scrutiny of the former president, but the Florida operation is just one part of one investigation related to Trump and his time in office.
The potential legal peril from multiple quarters comes as Trump lays the groundwork for another presidential run in 2024.
