The Justice Department is opposing the release of details in an affidavit that lays out reasons for the Mar-a-Lago search, citing harm to 'ongoing criminal investigation'
In their new filing arguing for some continued secrecy, the Justice Department made clear the seriousness of the ongoing criminal investigation, saying it"implicates highly classified materials.""Disclosure of the government's affidavit at this stage would also likely chill future cooperation by witnesses whose assistance may be sought as this investigation progresses, as well as in other high-profile investigations," the Justice Department wrote.
The New York Times, CBS, the Palm Beach Post, the Miami Herald, the Tampa Bay Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press and ABC also requested the judge unseal affidavits.A magistrate judge unsealed the Mar-a-Lago search warrant and property receipt on Friday, after the Justice Department lawyers for the former President agreed they should be released. Other parts of the search warrant, including the probable cause affidavit, were not addressed at the time.
