The justice department said it censored the affidavit to protect “a significant number of civilian witnesses”.
Trump said the inquiry was being led by “political Hacks and Thugs”.
On Friday, the US Department of Justice released a version of the affidavit used to justify the FBI’s incursion into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on 8 August, but it has been heavily redacted.
Given that the court papers were filed before the search of the Palm Beach estate, they contain no new details on the 11 sets of classified documents that the justice department has said were recovered from the exclusive golf club.
The FBI agent who drafted the affidavit wrote they had “probable cause” to believe that “evidence, contraband, fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed” would be discovered.
