They were shown the secured area, and the boxes themselves” – the interaction does not appear to be as friendly as Trump suggested. While in prior statements Trump noted that he put a larger lock on his storage room at Mar-a-Lago at the request of the government – “We agreed. The document says the National Archives first reached out about retrieving records as early as – just a few months after Trump left office.īut the affidavit counters some of the prior statements from Trump and his legal team. The affidavit offers new information about the extent of the saga to recover documents from Mar-a-Lago. Judge Bruce Reinhart concluded Thursday that proposed redactions from DOJ were narrow enough to allow for public disclosure while protecting their ongoing investigation. The same federal magistrate judge who approved the search ordered DOJ to release the affidavit that convinced him to approve the warrant. In a separate filing explaining the rationale behind its redactions, DOJ said it had to protect “a broad range of civilian witnesses,” warning they would likely face intimidation. The 28-page affidavit contains numerous redactions but indicates authorities believed “evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed” would be found at Mar-a-Lago.Įntirely redacted is a provision explaining why the government believed additional “classified ” would be found on the premises. Rule 1.201 adopted effective January 1, 2017.The affidavit indicates that among the 184 documents were 25 that contained top secret information, including those gained from “clandestine human sources,” information prohibited from being shared with foreign governments, and information obtained by monitoring “foreign communications signals.” The requirements of this rule do not apply to documents or records that by court order or operation of law are filed in their entirety either confidentially or under seal. A party may amend its reference list as of right. All references in the case to the redacted identifiers included in the confidential reference list will be understood to refer to the corresponding complete identifier.
The confidential list must identify each item of redacted information and specify an appropriate reference that uniquely corresponds to each item of redacted information listed. A party filing a confidential reference list must use Confidential Reference List of Identifiers (form MC-120) for that purpose. If the court orders on a showing of good cause, a party filing a document containing identifiers listed in (a) may file, along with the redacted document that will be placed in the public file, a reference list. The court clerk will not review each pleading or other paper for compliance with this provision. The responsibility for excluding or redacting identifiers identified in (a) from all documents filed with the court rests solely with the parties and their attorneys. If financial account numbers are required in a pleading or other paper filed in the public file, only the last four digits of these numbers may be used. If an individual's social security number is required in a pleading or other paper filed in the public file, only the last four digits of that number may be used. To protect personal privacy and other legitimate interests, parties and their attorneys must not include, or must redact where inclusion is necessary, the following identifiers from all pleadings and other papers filed in the court's public file, whether filed in paper or electronic form, unless otherwise provided by law or ordered by the court:
