Legal experts said the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to unseal a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s Florida resort represents a rare push for transparency during a criminal investigation despite the documents offering little insight into the investigation itself. 

Main Justice on Thursday asked a federal magistrate judge to unseal the warrant, absent objection from Trump, citing “intense public interest” in the matter and the former president’s decision to publicly disclose the search. Hours later, Trump said on his social media platform that he would not oppose the request, likely clearing the way for the warrant to be made public.
