BREAKING: The Department of Justice on Friday released a redacted version of the sworn affidavit used to substantiate the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month.
The Department of Justice on Friday released a redacted version of the sworn affidavit used to substantiate the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate for evidence of potential violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice, including the unlawful retention of classified documents prosecutors say weren’t supposed to be there.
When the FBI reviewed those boxes in May, they discovered “184 unique documents bearing classification markings,” including 67 marked “CONFIDENTIAL,” 92 marked “SECRET,” and 25 documents identified as “TOP SECRET”—where unauthorized disclosure could reasonably result in “exceptionally grave damage to the national security.”
“I’m not prepared to find the affidavit should be fully sealed,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart—who originally signed off on the search warrant to begin with— said in court last week. “I believe based on my initial careful review of the affidavit many times, that there are portions that could preemptively be unsealed.
Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton, called his ex-boss’s claim of a standing declassification order “almost certainly a lie,” telling“When somebody begins to concoct lies like this, it shows a real level of desperation,” he said.
