2:00Jarrett says Boasberg has taken over the case, then criticizes his rulings and forecasts difficulties for prosecutors.

The Justice Department wants search warrant documents connected to its investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar to remain sealed, according to a Washington Post report presented on Fox News's Hannity.

The segment shifts attention from lawmakers' demands to halt the investigation to a different question: why prosecutors would seek to keep the warrant and its supporting material out of public view.

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett tells Sean Hannity that keeping those documents sealed during an ongoing investigation is standard practice. Reviewing seized electronic devices can take time, he explains, and releasing warrant information prematurely can jeopardize investigative work.

He also makes an important qualification: "Well, first of all, we don't know the full scope of the warrant."

Omar's position in Congress adds another complication, Jarrett says. Constitutional Speech or Debate Clause protections require filter teams to separate material protected by legislative privilege from material investigators can examine.

The discussion later turns to Judge James Boasberg, whom Jarrett says has taken over the case. Jarrett criticizes the judge's past rulings and argues that prosecutors will be concerned about obstacles to the investigation. Those remarks are his assessment, not a court finding about the handling of this case.

The Fox News upload drew roughly 669,000 views since yesterday. Its central reported development is a request to maintain secrecy around investigative documents, not an announcement of charges.
