FBI: The censored document on the search of Donald Trump’s house in Florida released

The US Department of Justice made the announcement today the affidavit stating the reasons for the recent FBI investigation at the residence of the former president Donald Trump in Florida, where hundreds of classified documents were found and seized.

A big part of this 38-page document he’s got censored so as not to reveal the identity of persons involved in the investigation.

Federal Judge Bruce Rinehart ordered the Justice Department to release the warrant, citing public interest in the unprecedented research at an ex’s house president. At the same time, however, the judge accepted the ministry’s request to delete entire paragraphs of the document in order to protect the ongoing investigation.

The ministry waited until the last minute, at 12:00 noon Washington time, to release the warrant.

On August 8th F.B.I searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Boxes of classified documents were seized that the Republican former president did not hand over after leaving the White House, despite repeated requests.

Whole paragraphs have been deleted on 23 of the 38 pages of the document.

According to the warrant, an unnamed FBI agent said the National Archives discovered “documents marked confidential” and contained “defense information” when they received 15 boxes from Mar-al-Lago in January. He added that the Justice Department has reason to believe there are other such records in Trump’s home that were not returned to the government.

After the Mar-a-Lago search, federal agents took more than 20 boxes of documents, some of which were marked “top secret”.
