Donald Trump gets explosive on Truth Social, asks for warrant documents to be released
Former President Donald Trump said he won’t oppose the release of Mar-a-Lago warrant and receipt.
Taking to Truth Social, the President said, “not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid… I am going a step further by encouraging the immediate release.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland said he “personally approved” the decision to seek a search warrant for former U.S. President Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago.
Garland also said the Justice Department has filed a motion to unseal the search warrant and property receipt from the FBI’s raid.
The DOJ believes unsealing the information is in public interest.
Nuclear weapons documents
New reports have revealed the FBI was seeking to locate classified documents related to nuclear weapons inside Trump’s residence.
The unannounced raid is an escalation to the ongoing National Archives and Records Administration investigation. They were seeking to collect any documents the former President took with him from Washington to Mar-a-Lago.
N.A.R.A turned to the urgent matter to the Justice Department, for further inquiry.
Meanwhile, the White House is not answering any questions and maintain that they did not know the raid was going to happen.
