The Justice Department does NOT want the search warrent info publicised ….
Period….
Donald Trump actually doesn’t want it out either…..
The media does…
But they aren’t gonna get ‘secretive classified ‘ stuff from a Federal judge…
The Feds are redacting MORE of the info and the judge is smart NOT spill national security…
There is a request from the House ‘Gang of 8’ senior Congressional leadership* to see the info….And THAT would probably leaking in about two seconds…
There will be a release …

The Justice Department has opposed releasing the document, saying that its investigation is in the “early stages” and that making the affidavit public could chill potential witnesses, risk the safety of those already interviewed and reveal future investigative steps. News organizations are pushing for its disclosure, citing public interest in a case stemming from Trump’s possession of classified documents.
“I cannot say at this point that partial redactions will be so extensive that they will result in a meaningless disclosure, but I may ultimately reach that conclusion after hearing further from the Government,” Reinhart said in the written order Monday….

The judge noted Monday that in the two weeks since the FBI seized classified documents, Trump has not filed a legal motion about whether the affidavit should be made public.
“Neither Former President Trump nor anyone else purporting to be the owner of the Premises has filed a pleading taking a position on the Intervenors’ Motions to Unseal,” the judge wrote….
