Unsealed parts of affidavit used to justify Mar-a-Lago search shed new light on Trump documents probe
CBSN
Washington — The Justice Department on Wednesday released a more complete version of the affidavit used to justify the August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago, revealing more of the evidence investigators compiled before the FBI executed its search warrant at former President Donald Trump's South Florida property.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered additional portions of the affidavit to be unsealed after a contingent of media outlets, including CBS News, requested it be made available to the public after Trump was indicted last month.
The former president is charged with 37 felony counts stemming from his alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice. He has pleaded not guilty.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
