Confirmation of the search of the former US president’s home by the attorney general himself is rather unusual, given that ongoing investigations are rarely discussed by officials.
Former US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that both he and his legal representatives were “fully cooperating” with the federal investigation, shortly after Attorney General Merrick Garland was publicly named in the FBI’s investigation into his home. Trump in Florida.
The Attorney General of the United States of America confirmed that federal agents searched Donald Trump’s home in Florida in order to – according to sources – determine whether he had illegally removed files from the White House when he left.
Merrick Garland stressed that he personally approved the decision to search Donald Trump’s home. He noted that the Justice Department asked a court to release the warrant because of a “substantial public interest” after Trump disclosed the raid on his home by FBI agents on Monday night.
The confirmation from the justice minister was rather unusual, given that ongoing investigations are rarely discussed by officials.
The unprecedented search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, marked a major escalation in one of the many investigations facing the former US president over his actions during his tenure and for his business activities.
The US Department of Justice has faced heavy criticism and online threats this week in the wake of the investigation. Trump supporters and Republican Party officials have accused Democrats of using the federal bureaucracy to target the former president of the United States.
It is worth noting that earlier the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that a gunman tried to break into its facilities in Cincinnati. Security men said police exchanged fire with a suspect wearing a bulletproof vest.
Garland condemned the attacks on FBI and Justice Department officials. “I will not remain silent when their integrity is unfairly attacked,” he stressed.
