The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday released a heavily redacted copy of an affidavit underlying a FBI search warrant executed against former President Donald Trump earlier this month.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to submit a version of the affidavit to the court earlier this week for release to the public. The Justice Department submitted a copy of the affidavit to the court Thursday, which Reinhart reviewed and ordered released to the public by noon on Friday.
The court unsealed a heavily redacted affidavit that the FBI submitted to Reinhart on August 5 requesting the judge approve a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida resort.
