Mar-a-Lago affidavit public release still uncertain

Washington — The public release of evidence that prompted the FBI's search at Donald Trump's Florida residence remains undecided; the judge who authorized the warrant reiterated Monday that Justice Department prosecutors must bring him a proposed redacted version of the evidence by Thursday.
Judge Bruce Reinhart wrote Monday that while he "rejects" the government's stance that the current record supports keeping the entire Mar-a-Lago affidavit secret, he is open to changing his mind and wants to review the proposed redactions before making a final ruling.
"I cannot say at this point that partial redactions will be so extensive that they will result in a meaningless disclosure," Reinhart wrote, addressing the Justice Department's argument that they would so heavily redact the record that it would become worthless to the public. "I may ultimately reach that conclusion after hearing further from the Government."
