The order means the public could soon get more details about what led FBI officials to search the former president’s home on August 8 as part of an investigation into classified documents he retained.

| A judge ordered the US Justice Department on Thursday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit it relied on when federal agents searched Mar-a-Lago, the estate of former President Donald Trump to look for classified documents.

Search warrant affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they are likely to find evidence of a potential crime there. The department had earlier contested arguments by media organisations to make any portion of the affidavit public, saying the disclosure could contain private information about witnesses and about investigative tactics. But Judge Reinhart, acknowledging the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, said last week that he was disinclined to keep the entire document sealed and told federal officials to submit to him in private the redactions it wanted to make.

Affidavit justifying raid on Trump residence set to be releasedThe affidavit justifying the Federal Bureau Investigation's (FBI) raid on the former president's Mar-a-Lago home earlier this month will be unveiled in less than 24 hours - but there's a catch. Looks like Trump's mole will remain a secret. Is it a family member mole or a DeSantis mole? 'incorrectly taken when he left the White House' I think most people are interpreting that as 'stolen'

Hunter Biden laptop story censored by Facebook in lead-up to electionFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed the FBI warned him to be vigilant prior to the breaking of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal before the 2020 election, which resulted in the platform’s limited coverage of the story. It’s quite amazing how the rules for politicians, and the protections they receive, as well as the corruption they run or cover, is basically now just a daily common occurrence. Then the person on the street who pays these clowns gets the book thrown at them for basically nothing It turns out the FBI undermined the US election and not the Russians. classic Domestic law enforcement agency violates 1st amendment immediately prior to presidential election. And lied to fisa court. And knew Russia hoax was false. But Trump is dangerous.
