Republicans in the United States on Sunday increased calls for the release of an FBI statement justifying the seizure of documents from former US President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
A search warrant issued last week following the unprecedented investigation showed that 11 sets of classified documents were found in Trump’s home and the Justice Department had probable reason to search based on possible violations of the US Espionage Act.
Republicans want more detailed information released, convincing a federal judge to issue a search warrant that could reveal information sources and details about the nature of the documents and other classified information. The publication of such a statement would be highly unusual and would have to be approved by a federal judge.
“I think explaining the statement will help, at least I’ll confirm that there is reason for this call,” Republican Senator Mike Rounds told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Rounds said the Justice Department “must show that this is not just a ‘fishing’ expedition, that they have a reason to go in and do it, that they have exhausted all other avenues.” “And if they can’t do that, then we have a serious problem on our hands.”
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
