Ramped-up calls come amid reports of heightened threats against federal law enforcement personnel after the raid of former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
Republicans have stepped up calls for the release of an FBI affidavit showing the justification for its seizure of documents at former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
However, Republicans called for the disclosure of more detailed information that persuaded a federal judge to issue the search warrant, which may show sources of information and details about the nature of the documents and other classified information."I think a releasing [of] the affidavit would help, at least that would confirm that there was justification for this raid," Republican Senator Mike Rounds told NBC's "Meet the Press".
Representative Mike Turner, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said on CNN on Sunday the Biden administration should provide more details on what led to the search: "Congress is saying, 'Show us.
Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, a former FBI agent and prosecutor from Pennsylvania, said he was concerned about the safety of federal law enforcement officers amid such threats, adding "everybody needs to be calling for calm".
