In a redacted movement, the Division of Justice expressed concern that Trump would impede justice if the affidavit was not redacted.
Page nine of the DOJ’s filing states, “In brief, the federal government has well-founded issues that steps could be taken to frustrate or in any other case intrude with this investigation if information within the affidavit have been prematurely disclosed.”
The Justice Division argued that releasing the unredacted doc would offer Trump with the names of witnesses and a roadmap to the investigation.
Trump is annoyed as a result of with out the ability of the presidency he has no ability to leak information or direct the investigation. As president, Trump was in a position to derail the Mueller investigation by realizing the place Mueller was going earlier than his investigation might get there.
The Justice Division is apprehensive that Trump will impede justice, and given Trump’s historical past of obstructing investigations, the DOJ is taking steps to ensure that they keep forward of Trump.
