A lawyer for former President Donald Trump predicted that “almost nothing” will be revealed if a redacted version of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) affidavit in the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid is unsealed to the public.

A judge in the case, Bruce Reinhart, ordered the Justice Department to submit its affidavit, which was used to seek the FBI’s search warrant at Trump’s property last week, with proposed redactions. Reinhart said he would then review the proposed redactions before deciding whether to make the document public.
