(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) Florida Magistrate and Clinton Judge Bruce Reinhart gave permission to unseal new aspects of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago search warrant, following the release of a heavily redacted raid affidavit by the Biden Justice Department last August.
Reinhart rejected the request made by media organizations to fully unseal the affidavit but granted permission for a partially redacted version of the document to be released by the Justice Department on Wednesday. Newly unredacted portions of the affidavit revealed that the FBI had knowledge of Trump storing boxes in at least two different rooms within the premises between January 21, 2021, and late August 2021, before the search was conducted.
The judge said the DOJ “has met its burden of showing that its proposed redactions of the affidavit are narrowly tailored to serve the Government’s legitimate interests and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire search warrant affidavit.”
New information from the search affidavit showed surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago that Trump’s aide, former U.S. Navy veteran Walt Nauta, was moving boxes of documents just a few days prior to the DOJ visiting the Florida residence, the Gateway Pundit reported. That footage justified searching Mar-a-Lago two months later.
The controversy surrounding Trump’s supposed destruction of subpoenaed documents turned out to be nothing but hot air, and Trump never destroyed any subpoenaed documents.
Dirty cops may have attempted to steal declassified documents from the president at Mar-a-Lago in order to prevent their release, the news outlet reported in 2022. These documents may be related to the illegal spying on the Trump administration in the White House known as Crossfire Hurricane.
Reinhart authorized the Mar-a-Lago warrant despite recusing himself from the RICO case involving Hillary Clinton and her associates. Clinton reportedly used BleachBit to destroy 33,000 emails and seven BlackBerrys under subpoena. Despite this, she was not indicted on any federal charges.
