I’m no lawyer, but if Garland isn’t going to release an unredacted inventory of items taken, I don’t see how Trump could release an unredacted inventory.

Does he have a right to review the information supplied to the Judge regarding the warrant?


The answer to your question may depend on time. There can be both a pre-indictment right and a post indictment right (and possibly other rights such as pre-trial, sentencing, etc.). The court has to balance the interests of the government, the subject of the warrant, and in some cases (including this one albeit not based on your question) the public. The subject of the warrants interest changes as you proceed further down the indictment path. In most cases, the court will make a finding regarding the balancing of interests when choosing whether to unseal the affidavits.

Its a bit dated, but if you want to dive into the weeds, this law review article does a good job of discussing this topic. UALR Article

Practically, I think others have answered you. Even if the affidavit is released, the government's interest in a CI and an ongoing investigation could cause the item to be severally redacted. You may not find out much more than what is currently being reported. The slight twist on this item is the high level of public interest in the matter. The news services that seek a copy of the affidavit are pressing this point.

Since I’m an actual attorney the answer is he can’t because it’s under seal. If he released it right now he could go to jail


How many years will the person that leaked the Roe vs Wade opinion get

Well that’s awkward. I really shouldn’t post before coffee.
