Donald Trump’s Republican Party has come to the former US president’s defence after FBI agents conducted a search at his residence in Florida, with many conservative lawmakers vowing to investigate law enforcement agencies involved in the incident.
The anger was expressed by far-right firebrands as well as mainstream Republican congressional leaders who claimed without evidence that the raid on Monday night was politically motivated
“I’ve seen enough,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement. “The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization.”
McCarthy said “when” Republicans win control of the House of Representatives, they will conduct “immediate oversight” of the department, warning that Attorney General Merrick Garland should preserve his documents and clear his calendar.
