He said the focus of the government will be to ensure the recommendations are implemented as quickly as possible.

FBI raid puts Americans’ trust in government ‘at an all time low’Trust in government is at an all time low as Americans see right through the real aim behind events like the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home,' Recastled CEO Kosha Gada says. Ms Gada said the real aim behind the raid was to 'prevent Donald Trump from ever running again'.

'All of his aides and even his lawyer were, in the last few weeks, the DOJ's moving into concentric circles to get all of them, they've been subpoenaed – some of them were even handcuffed and taken away– and now this raid. 'The American people see right through it and it's really really sad because trust in government is at an all time low.'

‘Highly sensitive’: US Department of Justice oppose release of Trump raid affidavitFormer US president Donald Trump is calling for the affidavit justifying the raid of his Mar-a-Lago home to be made public. However, Department of Justice prosecutors say the document must remain sealed as it contains “highly sensitive” information with the potential to impact national security. A federal judge will hold a hearing later this week, allowing the lawyers to develop a proper rationale in defence of their argument as reports indicate the attorney general responsible for the approval of the raid spent weeks deliberating over the decision. “You can release parts of this affidavit, it has happened before, but more importantly, you can respond to these concerns, you can answer the questions,” Constitutional Law Attorney Jonathan Turley said.
