Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have no plans to release a copy of the search warrant used to raid Mar-a-Lago on Monday, leaving it up to the Department of Justice to detail the reasons for the unprecedented operation, according to a new report.
“No, we’re not releasing a copy of the warrant,” NBC News quoted a source close to the 45th president as saying.
Trump attorney Christina Bobb did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Post.
The report comes one day after Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting details on the evidence used to justify the raid.

The affidavit to the warrant is sealed. Ask the judge why nobody including Trump is allowed to see it? Sounds Crossfire Hurricane to me.
It’s a poker game. You never show a card you don’t have to show.
Their “Trump cards” will be video of laughing FBI agents going through Melania’s underwear drawers.
You let the DOJ wonder what you have and when you will drop the cards.
In the meantime you make them sweat, and force them to make mistakes.
I spy an ex-judge patsy. I hope he realizes increased body counts follow those who do the bidding of the Beltway bureaucrats.
“In case the warrant presented to them doesn’t match internal DOJ, court, and FBI docs.”
Exactly. Let the DOJ/FBI show their “cards” first.
There may be different warrants. Some reports say the folks at MAL were not allowed to actually inspect the warrant, it was held up to them from ten feet away while the FBI raid team blew threw.
As I understood, Trump staff/attorney Bobb/secret service/or whomever was on property requested a copy but were only allowed to look at it, but apparently some of it—the key points—were sealed.
?
Federal law says you have to provide a copy if asked.

Federal law does not apply any more - obsolete concept. The FBI was asked and they refused at the time of the raid. The lawyer could only see it from 10 feet away.
Sort of like when Shifty Schiff read the fake phone call transcript, and then Trump released the real one.
1) increasing the number of America First officials elected around the country and,
2) getting the perps convicted of their crimes.
3) asking the democrats nicely to relinquish their control of the US election system.
I’m sure that it will be leaked within a day or two.
An affidavit is not a warrant. You can seal a warrant from the public, but you still have to provide it to the accused.

If they were not allowed to see it, then anything gathered is invalid.
I'm sure there are ways and this whole operation was so stupid that if they did plant something, I'm sure they missed something that would show their culpability.
A few reasons...
We don't have a system where the government can stormtroop into someone's home and then make the person have to prove their innocence of the charges.
The government has to prove their probable cause before entering someone's home. By not releasing the search warrant, Trump is forcing the DoJ and FBI to make the public move to prove their justification for the raid.
Trump would not want to release a warrant that contains false or perjured allegations which are not true, but suggest that Trump committed a crime. If Trump were to release such a falsified warrant, the LAAP-dog media would focus on the allegations and paint President Trump as a law-breaker instead of questioning the FBI's integrity with the warrant.
You’re not getting it. The warrant doesn’t indicate what they are looking for. The warrant is just a one page order signed by the judge authorizing the search. Any warrant is supposed to specify what is being searched for and places to be searched with the accompanying affidavit.
Please read the link below on the four corners of a lawful warrant.
Heard some reports that they were not given a copy themselves. But maybe those reports were just wrong or they were right at one time and they got a copy later. Not sure...
Maybe, but if Trump did get a warrant (not sure they ever gave him one) and it was not consistent with what was provided to the judge, then any discrepancy would be out there for all to see a whole lot faster than waiting for a corrupt DOJ to release it. But I get all the other comments that its DOJ’s responsibility to explain themselves.
Ask Hillery what is or is not legal, or her ‘husband’ or Obama or any prominent Democrat.
They all would tell you the law is what they say it is and applies only where they say it does.
Give up on finding any Democrat guilty of any crime at any time. Ever. They have taken over while some people slept and others issued scathing rants. The water is on full boil.
