U.S. media to ask judge to release Trump search warrant affidavit

The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the broadcast TV networks, CNN and others want U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart to release the affidavit over the objection of the U.S. Justice Department, which says its investigation of Trump's handling of "highly classified material" would be compromised.

"The matter is one of utmost public interest, involving the actions of current and former government officials," wrote attorney Carol Jean LoCiero, who is representing the Times and others. "President Trump decried the the search as an `assault that could only take place in Third World Countries,' asserted agents `even broke into my safe,' and otherwise challenged the validity of the search.

The filing by Juan Antonio Gonzalez, the U.S. attorney in Miami, and Jay Bratt, a top Justice Department national security official, says making the affidavit public would "cause significant and irreparable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation."

They're just trying to find their leak Safety of those people names on that list should be the first concern IMO

Trump wants it released. Government doesn't. That's all you need to know as to whose right and whose wrong.

Hey CTV maybe talk about the corruption in our own country....just maybe

I'm really impressed that the media in the states is for once doing the right thing. If only our media pressured our government to release the justification used for the emergencies act for our public interest.
