As part of the investigation, more than 50 computers, tablets, hard drives and other digital devices were seized, according to the document.
Reuters writes that the investigation is about money transfers to the White House, but also political contributions in exchange for Trump’s clemency.
The White House has so far not commented on the investigation.
During his presidency he has pardoned 29 people.

– Discussed forgiveness
As recently as last week, Trump’s attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani is said to have discussed the possibility of a clemency before Trump leaves the White House to Joe Biden. The New York Times reports.
According to the main newspaper, the president has also discussed the possibility of pardoning his three oldest children, as well as his son-in-law.
Last week, Trump pardoned his former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, who in 2017 admitted to lying to the FBI about his contact with Russia.
