Garland blasts 'attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors'

US Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters on Thursday that he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant” on former US president Donald Trump's Florida estate on Monday.

According to The Washington Post, the FBI agents who raided the house sought documents on nuclear weapons. 

In a public statement, Garland refused to divulge any more information on the investigation or the raid on Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago due to “ethical obligations,” but noted that he submitted a notion to the Justice Department to release the warrant to the public.

“The Justice Department will speak through its court filings and its work,” he said. 

This motion was filed “in light of the former president’s confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances, and the substantial public interest in this matter.”

Later on Thursday, Trump also called for the "immediate" release of the warrant that the Federal Bureau of Investigation used to search the home.

“Not only will I not oppose the release of documents ... I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents," he posted to his Truth Social platform.
