The judge acknowledged the Department of Justice's argument it contained sensitive information about sources but also said the intense public interest warrants some release. US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart says he’s inclined to make some of the affidavit public. Mr Trump has encouraged the release of the affidavit, while the Justice Department objected, claiming that it would do “irreparable” harm to an ongoing investigation which they say is in its early stages. “It will be released eventually,” Fox News Contributor Andy McCarthy said.

US Department of Justice warn judge releasing Trump affidavit could ‘endanger’ witnessesA US judge is considering publicly releasing a redacted version of the affidavit the FBI used to justify searching former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

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.”
