Redacted Trump Mar-a-Lago affidavit released: five key takeaways

Affidavit, unsealed by federal magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart, offers new details on probable cause and FBI sources

The FBI sought to search Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after it found probable cause that highly sensitive national defense information and evidence of obstruction of justice existed there, according to a redacted version of the affidavit that got federal agents a warrant to search the former president's property.

The affidavit - partially redacted by the justice department to protect details about the criminal investigation into Trump's unauthorized retention of government secrets - offered several new details about the investigation that a top official has said remains in its early stages".
