Rep Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that some information from the affidavit for a warrant to search former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence should be shared with Congress, even if the document remains under seal.
The Justice Department (DOJ) has expressed concern that releasing the full document could jeopardize the ongoing investigation and witnesses.
“Whatever information is in that affidavit that bears on a danger to the national security information contained in those documents, I would hope that that would be shared with Congress, even if the affidavit is not,” he said.

Schiff says public interest in the Mar-a-Lago affidavit must be weighed against risks to DOJ.
“This is not the time to be giving… the Trump lawyers a road map into how to intimidate witnesses or how to derail a legitimate investigation.”
