dive right into your need to know headlines this morning.
And there's some new insight this morning
about the FBI search of former President Donald trump's home in MAr A Lago
legal experts have now been combing over documents that a judge unsealed yesterday
and now they're pointing to parts of them
saying that they shed new light on the investigation
and the Justice Department has until next thursday to suggest any redactions.
Never a dull moment with trump.
That's just one of the stories unfolding this morning on Capitol Hill.
Let's bring an aerial hicks it in Washington to bring us
more on some of these stories that are unfolding this morning.
Good morning. Ariel,
good morning baker and Alicia.
Well,
a federal judge is letting the Department of Justice file a redacted version of
the affidavit related to the search of former President trump's MAr A Lago home,
the DoJ has until next thursday to file it.
And this all comes after numerous media organizations filed in
court to try and get access to that document which
should contain details of the doJ investigation that led them
up to deciding to raid MAr A Lago last monday.
Some background here, the FBI found 11 in different sets of documents
that were labeled classified when they searched the president's residents.
One of those documents was labeled
top secret sensitive compartmented information.
If you don't know,
that's one of the highest levels of classification in
such documents typically can't be removed from secure locations.
Although the DoJ claims that releasing the affidavit could
compromise their investigation in a filing with the court.
They said it could quote cause significant and irreparable
dare damage to an on ongoing criminal investigation.
That involves materials at the highest level of government classification.
The doj also says the affidavit contains highly
sensitive information about witnesses in the investigation.
The fact that the judge's ruling in favor of releasing
even a redacted version of the document is unprecedented.
Well, Ariel,
I'm gonna start calling former president trump the Teflon
Don because it seems like everybody around him goes down
but not him. A former trump CFO pled guilty in a tax fraud case.
Yeah, just thursday former trump organization.
CFO Allen Westerberg pled guilty to 15 felonies of tax violations.
He also confirmed that he ran a years long
tax fraud screen while working at the trump organization.
Just last year,
the Manhattan district attorney charged Westerberg was taking $1.7 million
off the books now that he took the plea deal,
he faces up to 15 years in prison
and nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest.
But when prosecutors attempted to turn the investigation to trump and his family,
Weisberg did not cooperate.
So that might be a good nickname.
Teflon Don. Indeed. Ariel Hickson live in Washington.
Ariel, thank you for that update. That's why. Thank you. Ariel and the U. S.
