A Florida judge Thursday ordered some of the documents related to the FBI's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate to be unsealed.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said the affidavit should not be entirely sealed. The federal government has one week to submit the proposed redactions, which Reinhart will review, Fox News reported. The judge will decide at that point if he wants to make his own redactions.
Reinhart, who approved the original warrant for the FBI's raid last week, also stated that if the media or the government object to his proposed redactions, they are able to file an appeal.
The government argued that unsealing the affidavit would "provide a roadmap" of the ongoing investigation. Prosecutor Jay Bratt said the country is in a "volatile" state and releasing the names of those involved in the probe may "chill" other witnesses.
"This is not a precedent we want to set," he stated.
