The Justice Department has rebuffed efforts to make public the affidavit supporting the search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s estate, saying the investigation “implicates highly classified material.'
An aerial view of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate is seen Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, in Palm Beach, Fla.
Trump, in a Truth Social post early Tuesday, called for the release of the unredacted affidavit in the interest of transparency. The government told a federal magistrate judge that prosecutors believe some additional records, including the cover sheet for the warrant and the government’s request to seal the documents, should now be made public.
The Mar-a-Lago search warrant, carried out last Monday, was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump’s home earlier this year. The National Archives had asked the department to investigate after saying 15 boxes of records it retrieved from the estate included classified records.
