The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Aug. 11 asked a federal court to make public materials on the search warrant FBI agents obtained and executed on former President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida this week.
Government lawyers asked U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart to unseal the warrant itself and some supporting materials, as well as a receipt listing items taken from the Mar-a-Lago resort.
“The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president’s public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter,” Attorney General Merrick Garland, a Biden appointee, said in prepared remarks delivered in Washington on Thursday.
Christina Bobb, one of Trump’s lawyers, told The Epoch Times that agents were seeking classified and presidential records.
The government before the raid asked the court to shield the documents. But making them public now “would not ‘impair court functions,’ including the government’s ability to execute the warrant, given that the warrant has already been executed,” the government lawyers said in the new filing.
The request asks Reinhart to unseal the warrant and “Attachments A and B,” in addition to the receipt.
Chris Farrell, director of research and investigation at Judicial Watch, told The Epoch Times that attachment A is the affidavit, or the document from a law enforcement agent outlining to the judge why a warrant would be needed.

Pin a rose on your nose but the game is to get the search warrant out to demonize Trump.
Just heard that WP said nuclear documents were what they were looking for.
Does Trump get to release the names and badge numbers of the FBI goons who sifted through his wife’s personal clothing?
“Just heard that WP said nuclear documents were what they were looking for.”
I saw that post and that is down right laughable. However I would not put it past the FBI to plant something like that.
It’s obvious that the reaction to the raid”s optics has not had it’s designed effect. So now the only way out of the failure to turn voters away from Trump is to fool them into thinking that this event was just standard procedure. Move along!
More like angry sea bass with lasers.
“Nuclear documents?” Some real “boom” documents on Brandon and Bronco? I believe it.
I want to see the affidavits and the names of people who signed them. They could be in a world of hurt in future lawsuits. If there are lies or misleading information in the affidavits, they would not have immunity for violations of Trump’s civil rights in a Section 1983 lawsuit.

No we want to see the affidavit.
It should be up to Trump to release the information or not, depending on what he thinks is best for the country.
OK can’t be that easy. This is beginning to smell like a rotten stinking fish. Let the covering up lie games beginning! RUSSIA HOAX redux heeeerrrreee we come!
Who’s to say they don’t plant what they were looking for
Bingo. They planted them after they got back .... there was no inventory and no oversight. They were always going to come up with something .... that’s why they had 30 agents running around causing confusion and kept everyone out.
This occurred after the judge ordered the AG to investigate the release of the order. Or something on that order.
So the DOJ/FBI are leaking the contents of SEALED court documents...
Because that just adds another turd to the punchbowl.
The warrant would have been executed when it was handed over to Christina Bobb.
An illegal search was conducted, IMO.
Scene 1
Oh, that stuff? Yeah, the Archive people already know about it.
Right this way. Their lock is still on the door.
