Judge says Department of Justice has not met its burden of showing that the entire affidavit should remain sealed

A U.S. Magistrate Judge heard requests and arguments during an in-person hearing regarding the unsealing of FBI records related to last week’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s home.

Following that unprecedented and shocking early-morning raid on Trump’s private residence, Mar-a-Lago in Florida, U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, has ordered the release of other documents related to the FBI raid.

In court on Thursday, Judge Reinhart also said that the Department of Justice has not met its burden of showing that the entire affidavit should remain sealed. He said he believes the DOJ has not sufficiently shown that the document should remain entirely secret.

Trump has maintained that the FBI raid was unjustified, and in the interest of transparency, he called on federal investigators to release the affidavit related to the search of his home.

Now, the Department of Justice has one week to review the affidavit and submit a redacted version to Judge Reinhart next week.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
