The Justice Department is opposing the release of details in an affidavit that lays out reasons for the Mar-a-Lago search, citing harm to 'ongoing criminal investigation'

In their new filing arguing for some continued secrecy, the Justice Department made clear the seriousness of the ongoing criminal investigation, saying it"implicates highly classified materials.""Disclosure of the government's affidavit at this stage would also likely chill future cooperation by witnesses whose assistance may be sought as this investigation progresses, as well as in other high-profile investigations," the Justice Department wrote.

The New York Times, CBS, the Palm Beach Post, the Miami Herald, the Tampa Bay Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press and ABC also requested the judge unseal affidavits.A magistrate judge unsealed the Mar-a-Lago search warrant and property receipt on Friday, after the Justice Department lawyers for the former President agreed they should be released. Other parts of the search warrant, including the probable cause affidavit, were not addressed at the time.

BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT ALL THE DETAILS OF THE LAST FBI INTRUSION TO SPY ON TRUMP., WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEE THE (REAL) TRUTH ABOUT ALL OF THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES OF THE FBI

What’s an affidavit?

Why is CNN asking for release of the affidavit Shame on CNN for even asking!! CNN knows it could be dangerous to have that information out there! You should be trying to protect the integrity of an ongoing investigation and not ratings for God's sake!

Retired CI Guy here. Stop asking. You won't get them. They contain source information. We never reveal sources. It also contains TS/SCI material. That will never make into the public. You will get a Summary of Information.

But they will leak to their friends in the press.

That's okay get a iron clad CASE....

Trump should be charged for revealing the FBI agents names. Wilful endangerment of law enforcement officers. Nothing like your former boss gunnin' for ya! Geesh!😠And trying to expose the whistle blower-he wants that person murdered? DOJ is right.

Bullshit cover up by Biden’s DOJ..

The FBI, same government agency whose agents that have admiited to planting child porn on citizens, pushed the false Russian collusion, is asking to be trusted

👏

hahahahaha

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

They didn’t accidentally take his multiple passports. This man is being charged with crimes.

Biden admin is seriously not transparent, the President himself has the Less number of presscon and now the DOJ.. something is wrong here…

It was all about jan 6th farce. Garland and wray will claim they found evidence of Trump talking to Martians and gave then the nuclear codes. That is more believable than what they are now spinning. The biggest threats to America are'wray and garland.

They're hiding

People saying the FBI doesn’t lie have either not been alive the last 3 years or watch nothing but CNN. FBI=Fabricating Bullshit Institute.

Taking Trumps passports is definitely crossing the line! It seems US is ripe for a civil war.

Good

Of course they are!

AZ Gov runner up KARI LAKE --Arizona says : Lake Said in a AZ Vote Recount that President Joe Biden did not receive 81 million votes in Arizona (which was won by Biden in the 2020 presidential election) 21 year Ch 15 News anchor said Arizona was actually won by Trump

Last I heard the MSM is not a Trump supporter and they are the ones asking for the release.

GOP Knew this which is why they asked. It allows them to grift more.

of course they want to hide it. The Agency will be defunded Jan 2025 and they know it.

cnn sucks

They want release it because it's corrupt and unlawful...

Sniff sniff sniff.....smells like bullshit.

Arrest dump.

Donnie already admitted to having more classified information there. Gods speed to the reTrumplicans, trying to publicize the affidavit contains classified documentation

Donnie wouldn’t release the warrant. Let’s see if Donnie files a motion to release the affidavit. Probably not.

Classic! This is so they can control the narrative!

Every day it gets harder to realize I'm in the USA. Why is a thought even being given to handing witness names & other pertinent info to the criminal WHILE the investigation is going on? Is tRump workin a mojo on ppl in our gov Jesus can u help SOMEBODY take the wheel?!!

what are they hiding?

most Republicans and democrats agree this was way too far and shameful...

it's the same thing with the fake warrent and wire taps over Russia hoax

All the data Trump refused to release lol. Taxes, etc

More like harm to the fabrication.

Hear that Republicans? CRIMINAL.

If the affidavit is not released, then we really do know how bad the DOJ and the FBI stink! On top of that we now know that Biden probably did know about the whole set up, how are the people going to know?

Good

If Trump is fine releasing it, why won't the DOJ?

Why are Republicans trying to get Traitor Trump off on technicalities? Don't they care that he may be guilty of Treason? Ask yourself this and then go vote!

doj has nothing ---- now lets see a whistle blower leak it

There's no indictment yet, just an investigation. The search warrant and its contents can only be questioned by the defense team of Trump during the actual criminal hearing in court and not before any indictments. Those fools just want to know who the informant was!🙄

And so they should.

Just wait until the friggen investigation is over!!!

But of course….

RedaMor_ I hope Trump supporters realize that the witnesses that are referred to aren't going to be Democrats or RINOs, it's the ones who were closest to Trump and know his crimes.

wait you mean the government wants to hide their liberal bias ..no wayyyyy....we all know this is about 2024 . Democrats are terrified of Trump period. they are weaponizing every branch of the government to go after conservatives. sounds kinda like how Hitler did things

What the Charges In the Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Actually MeanThe offenses at issue are no small matter. They include the federal Espionage Act, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years per document. An indictment for Trump using the Espionage Act would be a BFD… especially since, he has never faced a real consequence for anything his whole life. Per document.

White House: Claims DOJ Politicized After Mar-A-Lago Search ‘Not True At All’'The Department of Justice, when it comes to law enforcement, is independent,' White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. 'This is what we believe.' Of course, it isn't true. Unlike the previous administration, President Biden does not meddle in DOJ business. But that won't stop Donald from spreading his lies. Because he's spreading them to incite his mob army again, not to tell the truth. Jesus didn’t believe in homosexuality 2 ..
