Judge Says He Will Unseal Parts of Affidavit That Led to Search of Trump s Mar-a-Lago – WSJ

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A federal judge said Thursday that he would make public at least part of an affidavit detailing the evidence that led the FBI to search Donald Trump s Mar-a-Lago home last week, after a Justice Department official said a full release would jeopardize the investigation into the former president s handling of classified information.

I m not prepared to find that the affidavit should be fully sealed, said U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, giving the Justice Department a week to suggest which portions should remain secret.

After reviewing the affidavit carefully many times, the judge said that in his view, there are portions of this affidavit that can be unsealed.

It could be some time before the public sees any of the document, as Judge Reinhart said he would assess the proposed redactions before unsealing it. If he disapproves of the government s redactions, he will create his own redacted version and keep it under seal until the government has the opportunity to appeal.
