Attorney General Merrick Garland set to make statement, days after FBI raid on Trump home at Mar-a-Lago

Three days after FBI agents raided the Florida residence of former President Donald Trump, the Attorney General is set to make a statement.

Since the raid on the Mar-a-Lago club, the Justice Department has faced pressure to give a public explanation.

Trump, who is a Republican, and his allies have said the search was politically motivated and pointed the finger at the Biden administration.

The FBI took a number of boxes from the residence.

She said that agents left a copy of the search warrant, which indicated they were investigating possible violations of laws related to the Presidential Records Act.

A senior White House official told NBC News that they didn't know what Garland would say.
