A US judge is considering publicly releasing a redacted version of the search warrant used during an FBI raid of former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. “It’s likely that we’re going to get some information from this affidavit,” Ms Schneider told Sky News Australia. “The affidavit is what provided the underline basis for the search warrant that allowed the federal agents to go in and search Mar-a-Lago, ultimately taking away those 11 sets of classified documents.
“The judge in that court hearing said he didn’t see any reason to continue to keep all of the affidavit under sealed.”
