President Donald Trump did not oppose the release of documents tied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's recent search of his Mar-a-Lago residence and instead called for their "immediate release" in a statement.
Donald Trump left Trump Tower to meet with New York's attorney general.
The former president claimed that the documents were drawn up by radical left Democrats and could be used against them in the future.
Trump said his poll numbers are the strongest they have ever been because of the search effort.
Hours before the former president made his statement, the U.S. Attorney General requested a court to unseal the warrant relating to the search.
The Justice Department wants to make public a list of items that were taken from the property and two other documents.
Garland told the press that he personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant and that the DOJ did not take this decision lightly.
The Washington Post reported that FBI agents were looking for nuclear weapon-related records when they searched Trump's Florida home. It's not clear if the warrant will mention any nuclear weapon-related documents at all.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump once again railed against the FBI's search and claimed that his attorneys and representatives were cooperating. If we had it, the government could have had anything they wanted. We were told to put an additional lock on the area. Out of nowhere and without warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, and everything was fine.
The FBI searched Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence as part of a probe into the former President's alleged violation of federal laws on handling classified White House records. The National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of government documents from the White House, including some that were classified. The former president may have violated federal record-keeping laws by taking these documents to his private residence. Since the search, Trump's allies in the Republican party have rallied around him and echoed his claims that the investigation was a witch hunt against him.
Garland is asking the court to release the search warrant.
FBI agents searched for nuclear documents at Trump's home, according to reports.
