Judge says he is inclined to release portions of Mar-a-Lago search affidavit
A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Justice Department to put forward proposed redactions as he committed to making public at least part of the affidavit supporting the search warrant for former President Donald Trump's estate in Florida.U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said that under the law, it is the government's burden to show why a redacted version should not be released and prosecutors' arguments Thursday failed to persuade him. He gave them a week to submit a copy of the affidavit proposing the information it wants to keep secret after the FBI seized classified and top secret information during a search at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last week.The hearing was convened Thursday after several news organizations, including The Associated Press, sought to unseal additional records tied to last week바카라 게임 웹사이트s search, including the affidavit. It is likely to contain key details about the Justice Department바카라 게임 웹사이트s investigation examining whether Trump retained and mishandled classified and sensitive government records.The Justice Department has adamantly opposed making the affidavit public, arguing that doing so would compromise its ongoing investigation, would expose the identities of witnesses and could prevent others from coming forward and cooperating with the government.The attorneys for the news organizations, however, argued that the unprecedented nature of the Justice Department's investigation warrants public disclosure.바카라 게임 웹사이트You can't trust what you can't see,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Chuck Tobin, a lawyer representing the AP and several other news outlets.In addition to ordering the redactions, the judge agreed to make public other documents, including the warrant's cover sheet, the Justice Department's motion to seal the documents and the judge's order requiring them to be sealed.Those documents showed the FBI was specifically investigating the 바카라 게임 웹사이트willful retention of national defense information,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the concealment or removal of government records and obstruction of a federal investigation.Jay Bratt, a top Justice Department national security prosecutor, had argued that the affidavit should remain hidden from the public.

Trump, in a Truth Social post last week, called for the release of the unredacted affidavit in the interest of transparency.

He said he would then review the proposal and make his own proposed redactions and then may meet with government lawyers to give them a final argument for why specific information should be withheld.

Justice Department attorneys have argued in a court filing that the investigation into Trump's handling of 바카라 게임 웹사이트highly classified material바카라 게임 웹사이트 is ongoing and that the document contains sensitive information about witnesses.
