In a late night post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump called for the immediate release of the “completely unredacted” affidavit concerning the warrant that led to the FBI’s August 8 raid on Trump’s estate at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump wrote, “There is no way to justify the unannounced RAID of Mar-a-Lago, the home of the 45th President of the United States (who got more votes, by far, than any sitting President in the history of our Country!), by a very large number of gun toting FBI Agents, and the Department of ‘Justice.’ But, in the interest of TRANSPARENCY, I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN.”

According to New York 1, Merrick Garland’s Justice Department wants to keep the affidavit portion sealed “to protect the integrity of an ongoing law enforcement investigation that implicates national security.”
