DOJ filed under seal a document in a federal court detailing its proposed redactions for the affidavit used to obtain a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida.
A federal magistrate in Florida is considering requests from media outlets and others to unseal that affidavit, which led to the Aug. 8 raid on Trump’s home at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
The DOJ is probing the removal of hundreds of pages of documents from the White House when Trump left office in January 2021.
Presidential documents by law are required to be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration.
