The United States Department of Justice objections raised to the disclosure of the document used by the FBI to justify the raids carried out at Donald Trump’s mansion in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. According to the New York Times (NYT), this department will have advanced a request to a Florida court judge, in order to prevent the full disclosure of the document.
According to this newspaper, the authorities fear that disclosure of the document could compromise the investigation being carried out. By making the document public, the Department fears that “the next steps of the investigation will be compromised” and that there will be “a probable chill” in the cooperation of witnesses.
Also according to prosecutors, the disclosure of this document could also call into question “other high-level investigations.”
In an appeal before the Florida court with an extension of 13 pages, the American Justice emphasizes that it fears that the publication of the document could also represent a danger for the witnesses involved in this investigation.
On August 9, the FBI searched the home of Donald Trump, former president of the United States, at the businessman’s mansion at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. These raids are generating several shock waves, starting with Trump’s harsh accusations against the FBI.

A week ago, Trump accused the authorities of carrying out an investigation similar to that carried out “in third world countries”, even mentioning that agents broke into a safe that was inside the property. The FBI will have obtained twenty boxes of documents, collected during the presidency of Donald Trump and which are considered to contain sensitive information.
The searches were quickly used by Trump and some Republicans as a political weapon, with accusations that the FBI was using this investigation to prevent a possible repeat run of the American for the 2024 presidential election.
Already this Monday, Donald Trump attacked the FBI again, accusing this entity of having stolen three passports during the raids at Mar-a-Lago. “In the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, I had three passports (one expired) stolen along with everything else. This is an attack on a political opponent on a level never seen before in our country. Third World”, accused the former leader of the United States in the social network Truth Social.
