One more week and we will see the Redacted Affidavit

Judge poised to release parts of key Mar-a-Lago raid document

Judge Reinhart ruled today that portions of the affidavit underpinning the FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate would likely be made public – despite objections from the Justice Department.

West Palm Beach Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart — who signed off on the search of the 45th president’s home — said at the conclusion of the 77-minute hearing that “I believe — at least on my initial careful review of the affidavit — that there are portions that could be presumptively unsealed.”

Reinhart gave federal prosecutors until noon on Aug. 25 to submit a list of requested redactions and added that a partially blacked-out version would likely be released at some point in the future. The judge said the government will be given an opportunity to appeal if it doesn’t agree with his proposed redactions.
