READ IT: Judge releases less redacted Mar-a-Lago search affidavit

A judge approved Tuesday the release of a less redacted version of the affidavit laying out the legal underpinnings for the FBI's August search-and-seizure of material from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Federal prosecutors at the Justice Department petitioned the court to release the new version of the affidavit, amid criticism that the original version released back in August concealed too much information from the public.

The newly unredacted portions of the affidavit reveal Trump's counsel did not inform the DOJ that the former president declassified the documents.
