The US Attorney General says he's filed a motion to make public the
search warrant and property receipt related to the FBI raid of Donald
Trump's Florida home.
It was Merrick Garland's first public statement since law enforcement
officials searched the former president's Mar-a-Lago property.
Republicans and Trump supporters have been pushing the Justice
Department to explain why the raid took place, amid accusations of
politicization.
Garland told reporters a warrant was issued based on evidence a crime
may have been committed - seemingly in relation to sensitive White
House paperwork Trump took with him when he left office.
