The Justice Department fears that disclosing facts about the warrant used to search Donald Trump’s Florida home may jeopardise the integrity of its inquiry. It seeks to keep the warrant affidavit secret. To determine if Trump handled government data improperly after leaving office, FBI agents looked into Mar-a-Lago. The first time a former house was searched for a criminal inquiry. president’s 11 sets of classified documents were discovered in Palm Beach last week, according to a search warrant that was released on Friday. A number of news organisations have called for the paperwork that supported the raid to be made public.

Prosecutors warned Monday that releasing the full warrant would “significantly and irreparably impair this current criminal investigation” “If published, the affidavit would provide particular facts about the government’s existing investigation, compromising future investigative procedures,” they stated in a court filing. They stated the affidavit must be sealed because of “highly secret contents.” Mr. Trump claimed the FBI grabbed three of his passports during the raid, which is only done if a suspect is a flight risk. “This is an unprecedented attack on a political opponent. Global!” Mr. Trump used Truth Social.

Friday, the Trump search warrant was made public, which is something that has never happened before during a criminal investigation, but was done because of “strong public interest.” In a court filing on Monday, prosecutors talked about threats against the FBI.
