Attorney General Merrick Garland says Department of Justice will move to unseal Trump records from search warrant

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice is moving to unseal the search warrant and the itemized receipt of what was taken from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this week, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday, his first public comments since the FBI search took place.

For days, Republicans have decried the search as a “witch hunt” and demanded more information about why a warrant was necessary to reclaim documents that Trump did not hand over to the National Archives upon leaving office in January 2021. The National Archives announced in February that it had recovered 15 boxes of material from Mar-a-Lago — including documents that had been destroyed and some that were labelled classified or top secret — and was asking the Department of Justice to determine if criminal charges were warranted. Under the Presidential Records Act of 1978, such records belong to the public and must be turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration when a president leaves office.

The Left is Now Desperately Trying to Change the Meaning of the Word ‘Raid’“It was a lawful search pursuant to a warrant. Don’t let Trump and pals frame the messaging.” 'Changing language to change the perception...'?😂 I've been coming back to this a lot lately... 1/2 They've done to the words virus (poisonous substance); vaccine (matter [ingredients] used in vaccination); germ (plant sprout or bud); nice; influenza (visitation, influence (of the stars),' from Medieval Latin influentia in the astrological sense (see influence), etc.
