Donald Trump: Blacked-out affidavit shows president took "top secret" materials home to Mar-a-Lago
Summary by NewsWall Apr 24 23
- According to an FBI affidavit, Donald Trump brought sensitive materials, some of which were marked top secret, to his Mar-a-Lago estate.
- Mr Trump responded on Twitter, writing, "Affidavit heavily redacted!!!"
- A separate document, a Memorandum of Law, explains why the affidavit needs to be redacted, stating that "revealing this information could severely disadvantage the government as it seeks further information from witnesses... These concerns are particularly compelling in this case... In short, the government has well founded concerns that steps may be taken to frustrate or otherwise interfere with this investigation if facts in the affidavit were prematurely disclosed"
