Washington: The US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion to unseal the search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement days after Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents raided the Mara Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaking at a press conference at the DOJ on Thursday, Garland said he personally “approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. “The department does not take such a decision lightly,” he said. “Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. “Trump and his allies have denounced the operation as a political attack orchestrated by Democrats while calling out the FBI and the DOJ.
