'Highly sensitive': US Department of Justice oppose release of Trump raid affidavit
Former US president Donald Trump is calling for the affidavit justifying the raid of his Mar-a-Lago home to be made public. However, Department of Justice prosecutors say the document must remain sealed as it contains 'highly sensitive' information with the potential to impact national security. A federal judge will hold a hearing later this week, allowing the lawyers to develop a proper rationale in defence of their argument as reports indicate the attorney general responsible for the approval of the raid spent weeks deliberating over the decision. 'You can release parts of this affidavit, it has happened before, but more importantly, you can respond to these concerns, you can answer the questions,' Constitutional Law Attorney Jonathan Turley said.
