Analysts say President Trump has a right to keep documents
that he worked with as a public figure in public office for his
own personal record reference and use as seen fit, including
whether they be mentally or more formally declassified or not,
or for exculpatory or providing defense or exposing others
or any other use or reason, subject only to maintenance
of any classification level he gave or demoted them to.

Ex-Trump Aide Says DOJ Left His Name Unredacted in Affidavit to ‘Silence’ Him

Former Trump administration official Kash Patel said that the Justice
Department did not redact his name in its Mar-a-Lago affidavit for
political purposes and is trying to “silence” him.

Last week, a U.S. magistrate judge ordered the release of the
Department of Justice (DOJ) affidavit that was used to obtain an FBI
search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Much of
the document and names were redacted, but Patel’s was left unredacted.

Reacting to the DOJ’s decision, Patel told Just The News that the
agency “intentionally decided to politicize this affidavit for many
reasons.”

“But one, which I wasn’t even expecting them to do was put my name out
there, it added absolutely no value and violated every procedure at
the Department of Justice in relation to protecting parties and
people’s names,” he said in a recent interview.

It’s not clear why the DOJ chose not to keep Patel’s name covered up.
The only other person identified by name is longtime Rep. Carolyn
Maloney (D-N.Y.), the head of the House Oversight Committee who was
told by the National Archives about materials that were obtained
earlier this year from Mar-a-Lago. The Epoch Times has contacted the
agency for comment.

That was done “for a political effect, because they wanted to try to
silence me and President Trump and everybody else, and get the
mainstream media to threaten me, which it has done,” said Patel, a
former National Security Council and Pentagon official.

Earlier this month, DOJ officials argued against releasing the
affidavit and claimed that doing so would protect the integrity of
their investigation while saying it would also prevent witnesses from
coming forward.

But U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, the same judge who signed
off on the FBI search warrant, asked prosecutors to submit a redacted
version. Reinhart also released the warrant and property receipt days
before, which showed that FBI agents took allegedly classified
materials from Trump’s Florida residence.

The affidavit, which redacted the reasons for the redactions, revealed
few new details about what prompted the raid on Aug. 8. It also did
not elaborate on what materials were taken and why it was necessary
for dozens of agents to search a former president’s home.

Both Trump and Patel said that the former president had a standing
order to declassify documents that left the Oval Office and went to
Mar-a-Lago. And Trump has pointed to a Jan. 19, 2021, executive order
that declassified some materials relating to the FBI Crossfire
Hurricane investigation.
