US Attorney-General Merrick Garland has broken his silence following the raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, asking a court to unseal the search warrant due to the “substantial public interest in this matter”. | FarrahTomazin
Many took to social media encouraging “civil war”, urging people to “lock and load” and asking “when does the shooting start?”
However, due to the “substantial public interest in this matter”, the department had filed a motion in court on Thursday to make the warrant public, he said, as well as the property receipt. The affidavit to the warrant, which would provide broader details about the investigation into Trump, has not been sought.
It came a day after FBI director Christopher Wray also spoke out, describing growing threats of violence against law enforcement agencies as “dangerous and deplorable”. NBC News, citing two unnamed officials familiar with the matter, said the suspect was at the US Capitol building in Washington during the assault by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.
In one of his latest Truth Social posts, he has also accused the FBI of ripping off the lock they had asked him to install in the room where boxes of documents were stored.
