AG Merrick Garland: Justice Department files motion to unseal Mar-a-Lago search warrant

Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday that the Justice Department had filed a motion to unseal the search warrant and property receipt from a search FBI agents carried out Monday at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida."I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter," he said Thursday, after making the required finding of "probable cause" that a crime had been committed.

On Monday, agents searched Trump's residence and his safe in what sources familiar with the matter have told USA TODAY is an investigation related to Trump's removal of classified documents from the White House when he left office.
