search warrant set to be released but only after the department of justice submits its redactions. the judge giving the d.o.j. a thursday deadline to make that decision. team trump saying put it all out there quoting here, the whole affidavit should be released given the democrats penchant for using redactions to avoid government corruptions just like they did with the russia hoax. the burden is on the d.o.j. the burden is on the government to prove that this is not just a continuation of what has been a seven-year crusade to get trump. the senior membership of this agency has been targeting trump for years. they ve got the documents they went in for. i see no reason not to release this affidavit except for if they have confidential informants in it. mark meredith is live with more on this from palm beach. good morning. good morning. we re in a holding pattern here.
