Trump says he won't oppose Mar-a-Lago search warrant release

What he's saying: "Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid … I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents," Trump said.

Context: U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart had given the Justice Department until 3 p.m. Friday to notify him of whether Trump's attorneys opposed the unsealing of the warrant and property receipt.

Of note: CNN, NBC News, the Washington Post and E.W. Scripps Company filed a motion Thursday seeking to have "all probable cause affidavits filed in support of the search warrant" of Trump's Palm Beach residence unsealed due to "the historic importance of these events."

• Public access to the records "will promote public understanding of this historically significant, unprecedented execution of a search warrant in the residence of a former President," the outlets said in the filing.
