On Thursday, Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed that he “personally approved” the raid of 45th President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home — an unprecedented move against the 45th President.
Fox News reports:
“The Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work,” Garland said during a public statement. “Just now, the Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premesis located in Florida belonging to the former president.”
Garland added: “The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president’s public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter.”
The attorney general also said that he could not provide further details on “the basis of the search,” but confirmed that he personally approved the search.
