Sounds like what @PamBondi said without getting caught up in using the words is that the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women.

I don’t understand the supposed legal basis for this.
DOJ requested a summons—*not* an arrest warrant—under Rule 9 of the FRCrP.
Are they going to go back to the magistrate and ask for a warrant, even though Comey hasn’t failed to appear? If not, what’s the exigency for a warrantless arrest?
