US Justice Dept opposes release of Trump search affidavit

Washington | The US Justice Department on Monday (Tuesday AEST) said it opposes unsealing the affidavit that prosecutors used to obtain a federal judge’s approval to search former president Donald Trump’s Florida home, where they seized classified documents.

“If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a road map to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” prosecutors wrote in their filing.
