The Justice Department is warning a federal magistrate judge that the safety of a “significant” number of witnesses would be endangered by forcing federal prosecutors to further reveal parts of an affidavit which led to the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago.
The warning came on Friday, in the form of a previously sealed memo explaining the redactions that DoJ officials made to the document. The judge in the case previously ordered the agency to prepare for public release the affidavit which led to his approval of a search warrant targeting Mar-a-Lago.
