Two things:
(1) it's hard to get a warrant. This is a search warrant for the President's personal lawyer's office and covers privileged communications (obviously under the crime-fraud exception). The federal judge that signed this must have been shown some very serious evidence of a crime.
(2) Since SDNY executed this warrant, it (a) had to be approved by the Assistant Attorney General of the criminal division (department policy for searching lawyers' offices), and indicates that a second criminal investigation of the Trump admin is active.
So, big big deal.

Well, of Trump and certain associates, maybe not of the Trump Administration, per se.
