The search warrant authorizing the FBI search a laptop computer in connection with the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server was unsealed on Tuesday.
The redacted warrant ordered the search of “[a] laptop computer, further described as a silver Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series” that belonged to former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner.
A federal judge in New York ordered the warrant and supporting documents to be unsealed after attorneys opened a case to request access, ABC News reported.
The laptop’s hard drive was being researched in investigations pertaining to lewd text messages that were allegedly sent by Weiner, who is the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner and Abedin reportedly shared the laptop.
According to the warrant, the basis for the search was “evidence of a crime” as well as “contraband, fruits of crime, intended for use, or used in committing a crime.”
