The federal magistrate judge who’s believed to have signed off on the search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate had his contact page removed from the Southern District of Florida’s website Tuesday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart was identified as the signatory on a pair of sealed search warrants entered on Aug. 5. Media outlets, such as Politico, have claimed those are the warrants in connection to the search of the former president’s home. Meanwhile, social media users have since gotten the West Palm Beach judge’s last name trending, along with his previous association with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker.
