We're all talking about what happened, but the DOJ as a rule doesn't comment on on-going investigations. The warrant itself is all we have to go by. It is up to Donald Trump to decide whether he wants to release it to the public, but it would answer a lot of questions, and given the public interest, I think he should, particularly since he, and a lot of Republicans, are making some extreme commentary in response. Publishing a warrant doesn't say you are guilty or innocent, btw.
If Donald Trump had possession of highly secret classified documents, the FBI can't just ask for them by subpoena. Think about it. A subpoena means that Trump, his lawyers and other representatives, etc. would all handle Top Secret documents. Even Trump handling them is problematic since he doesn't have clearance. The only way to do it is for the person to voluntarily give up the documents when the FBI come to call (as they did back in June), or they can go get a search warrant, and take them.
