READ IN FULL: Redacted affidavit justifying raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home released
On Friday, the Justice Department released a heavily redacted version of the affidavit laying out the justifications for the FBI’s search and seizure of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Aug. 8.
Trump and others had called for the full version of the affidavit to be released to the public. The DOJ had resisted the disclosure of the document in court, but Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart of West Palm Beach, Florida, who also approved the Mar-a-Lago search warrant, ordered the redacted document released by noon on Friday.
