(West Palm Beach, FL) — The Justice Department is revealing why prosecutors applied for a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s Florida home. They did so after receiving evidence of a “likely” effort to hide classified documents in defiance of a grand jury subpoena. The DOJ made that argument in a Tuesday night filing in its response to Trump’s request for an independent third party, or a so-called special master. That individual would review documents and papers FBI agents seized when they executed a search warrant earlier this month. Trump has until Wednesday evening to respond to the government’s filing.
