Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday he personally approved the search of Donald Trump's home this week and has filed a motion to unseal the warrant authorizing the raid of Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Garland made a brief statement Thursday, the first since the FBI's raid Monday.
Garland said he personally approved the search of Trump's home and that the agency had probable cause.
Trump posted on his platform, Truth Social, minutes after the press conference.
"I continue to ask, what happened to the 33 Million pages of documents taken to Chicago by President Obama? The Fake News Media refuses to talk about that. They want it CANCELED!" he wrote.
Garland defended the integrity of the FBI and DOJ amid allegations that agents could have planted evidence.
FBI Director Christopher Wray declined to answer a question on Wednesday about allegations that agents were planting evidence in Trump's home. Instead, he said he was concerned about threats facing law enforcement following the raid.
On Thursday, the FBI's Cincinnati Field Office said an armed suspect attempted to breach its visitor center, resulting in a subsequent chase.
Garland= ferret faced Himmler wannabe
I think the breaking news about this nothing burger presser is that he did this because there was a “public interest” in this case? HUH? Is that a legal term?
Nazi POS does whatever he pleases against political opponents who’ve broken no laws

Garland has all the personality and likeability of Henrich Himmler. And that is none and none.
The warrant as it was waved from yards away, or the rewritten one?
Don’t insult the ferrets. I used to have one.....................
3 days to speak.
If this had been an above board investigation he would’ve been ready with a press conference in day ONE.
We’ll never know....................
Gee, ten minutes ago we had “It wasn’t me!”. All lies all the time. 🙅
Need to see affidavit. The search warrant affidavit has to be specific not only about the place to be searched, but this purported evidence or criminal activity that forms the basis for the search request. Police can seize only what is described in the warrant, pursuant to the underlying affidavit.
lol
his attempt to seem above reproach was a joke.
The FACT is, if Trump were a Democrat there wouldn’t even be an investigation MUCH LESS A RAID!
You can “say” justice is blind! but when you CHOOSE who to target and go fishing for SOMETHING, ANYTHING that they might have done wrong so you can “apply the law equally to both the weak and the powerful” you are perverting justice!
Apparently they wanted to see if Melania wears white after Labor Day...........................
Are ferrets and badgers related?
Ferrets are mustelids.
The Mustelidae family is the weasel family which includes otters, badgers, skunks, pine martens, polecats, wolverines, and more!
"The senior Justice Department source says that Garland was regularly briefed on the Records Act investigation, and that he knew about the grand jury and what material federal prosecutors were seeking. He insists, though, that Garland had no prior knowledge of the date and time of the specific raid, nor was he asked to approve it. "I know it's hard for people to believe," says the official, "but this was a matter for the U.S. Attorney and the FBI.""
Garland first had his own people question the FBI goon squad raiders just who and to what extent the raiders sifted through Melania Trump’s personal clothing. He can’t be sure if video and audio of the raid and the sifting exists. Ultimately Garland is responsible for how the goons behaved.
