The redacted FBI affidavit used to get a search warrant for Donald Trump’s Florida resort leaves some questions unanswered about who knew what and when regarding the classified documents stowed at Mar-a-Lago.
But it details a chronology of how the National Archives’s interest in retrieving records from Trump broke down and ended with a surprise FBI search of the former president’s Florida estate.
“The affidavit contains information up to the point where it appears there may have been a breakdown in communications,” said Kenneth Gray, a senior lecturer at the University of New Haven and a former FBI special agent. “But then the rest is redacted.”
