tonight on why he s been calling for all court papers to be made public but not doing so in the place that it matters most, the courtroom. clarissa ward is in afghanistan and her harrowing return to a place deeply affected by the war and what she found when she got there one year after american troops departed. we begin with the search at mar-a-lago and the fight against unce unsealing documents. jessica, walk us through what the judge ordered today. anderson, the judge telling doj to go back to the drawing board and find a way to release some of this information from the affidavit. the judge is telling prosecutors two things. propose redactions but also better explain why they need to keep large sections of this secret. so the judge has set a deadline. he wants their recommendations next thursday at noon. after that point the judge says he might have additional confidential discussions with doj before he makes that final decision about what to release. parts of it are li
details the potential offenses being investigated. you can see there, it says willful retention of national defense information, also concealment or removal of government records. also obstruction of a federal investigation. that willful retention that you see there, anderson, it s key because legal experts are telling our evan perez and caitlin polantz that it s that language that points directly to the former president as a possible subject of the criminal probe. something else that was released was the motion to seal, and it has federal prosecutors expressing their concern that, as you can see there, evidence might be destroyed. and, you know anderson, that could explain why fbi agents were really compelled to move in and spent hours taking, you know, 11 steps of classified documents in the end. could you just explain what the doj s main argument against releasing the affidavit is? yeah, they ve been arguing this in their papers, they also argued it forcefully in court
