Former President Donald Trump offered a brief, but visceral reaction to the Justice Department (DOJ) releasing a partially blacked-out document Friday — apparently justifying the FBI raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate — instead of a fully unredacted affidavit.
Through the TruthSocial app, Trump had this response to the affidavit's release:
"Affidavit heavily redacted!!! Nothing mentioned on 'Nuclear,' a total public relations subterfuge by the FBI & DOJ, or our close working relationship regarding document turnover — WE GAVE THEM MUCH.
"[U.S. Magistrate] Judge Bruce Reinhart should NEVER have allowed the Break-In of my home. He recused himself two months ago from one of my cases based on his animosity and hatred of your favorite President, me.
"What changed? Why hasn’t he recused himself on this case? Obama must be very proud of him right now!"
On Aug. 8, a day when the former president was out-of-state, a number of FBI agents executed a search warrant on Trump's home and reportedly removed 11 sets of documents that were deemed potentially crucial to national security concerns.
Judge Reinhart had previously ordered the release of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit by noon Friday (EST), but also agreed to DOJ redactions covering "identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties, the investigation's strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods and grand jury information."
As Newsmax chronicled on Friday, Reinhart also ordered the release of documents related to the request to redact the affidavit.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing throughout, arguing all of his documents had been declassified before leaving the White House in January, 2021.
Last week, while serving as a studio guest on "Rob Schmitt Tonight," Trump attorney Alina Habba told Newsmax the Mar-a-Lago affidavit implied potential guilt for the former president on three fronts — concealment, espionage, and destruction of documents.

I love that Trump is pulling out all the stops, but what hope do we have against the bloated leviathan we have in DC?
habba habba... hubba hubba.
Haa-ha-ha!!!
Oh, that Dick Morris.
Thinking that the left gives two poops about the law.
Never been Rick-Rolled by the Fed Gov!
bttt
“Why hasn’t he recused himself on this case?”
And that’s the REAL question.
An impartial judge would have stopped this attack on submittal of the affidavit.
He’s getting told in the background to go ahead, push the envelope - nothing will happen to him.
He got scared a bit last week but now he’s over it, smirking like the Soviet “judge” he is.
“Obama must be very proud of him right now!”
If he were still alive Epstein would be too.
Y’know, maybe the delay was that they asked a number of other judges first, and Reinhart was the only one who said ok?
Not much. They’re not even hiding it anymore - understand this:
THEY WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT AGAIN.
Prove me wrong.
Democrat scum will steal the Senate, pack he Supreme Court, and put Trump in prison.
And cowardly Republican politicians will say nothing.
Nah. It was a setup, they knew who he was and what he thought.
He’s no accident. DoJ shops judges all the time, they know the game and the victims - er, “targets”, don’t.
Zip! So many are demanding Trump release the video. But in reality I’m beginning to think there is no video to be had. This is what you call having a poker face. And I’m afraid the FBI still has the upper hand.
