Judge unseals more text from Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit
.
Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday unsealed more of the pages from the affidavit for the FBI search warrant issued for the classified documents Donald Trump took with him to his country club in Palm Beach, Florida.
There were two grand jury subpoenas issued prior to the search at Mar-a-Lago, the pages detail. They were part of the ongoing litigation around the special master. Federal prosecutors told Judge Cannon Tuesday that they’ve already talked about the special master in another case with the judge overseeing the grand jury and that that judge approved the disclosure of the information redacted previously
One piece that is new is the search warrant affidavit is that five of the documents were marked “confidential,” 16 marked “secret,” and 17 marked “top secret.”
Other markings on the documents at Mar-a-Lago continued information derived from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is the kind of surveillance that happens electronically involving foreign adversaries to the U.S. as well as human intelligence.
There was a certified letter to the FBI and DOJ at Mar-a-Lago on June 3 saying that “based upon the information that has been provided to me, I am authorized to certify on behalf of the office of Donald Trump the following,” it then makes the case that they’d searched all of the boxes in Florida from the White House and that they’d handed over all of the documents. The name isn’t included in the new release, but reports indicated it was lawyer Christina Bobb.
