US Judge Orders Justice Dept. To Redact, File Mar-A-Lago Affidavit

A federal judge in the state of Florida on Thursday ordered the Justice Department to unseal parts of the warrant affidavit used to carry out the FBI search on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

Bruce Reinhart gave the agency until next Thursday to file a redacted version of the affidavit, according to multiple reports.

Trump's Republican allies, including Senator Lindsey Graham, have loudly called for the department to make the affidavit public after it moved to unseal the search warrant and record of what was seized during the Aug. 5 search. -
