A federal judge says the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) may make public additional portions of the affidavit that led to a search warrant being approved for former President Donald Trump’s home.

Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Security Division, asked the U.S. court in Washington to allow the government to reveal details about a grand jury convened for an investigation into Trump, according to a filing unsealed on Sept. 7.
