US Attorney General Garland commented on the operation against former President Trump, in which it is said that documents on nuclear weapons were sought. A man attacked an FBI office. He was shot.
Former US President Donald Trump’s house search on Monday continues to cause a stir in the United States. On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a special press conference to explain the authorities’ actions – a highly unusual move that follows days of heated rhetoric from Trump supporters. At the same time, a man attacked a department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday — the agency that searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida property on Monday. The man was eventually killed in a shootout after hours of arguing with police.
The Washington Post also reported that the attack on Trump was based on a serious suspicion: namely, that the former president took documents about nuclear weapons at his residence. Such documents are subject to the highest levels of confidentiality. The New York Times also reported on Thursday that officials were also looking for documents related to highly confidential US operations abroad.
It is unknown whether the FBI found such documents on Monday. There was no confirmation of the “Post” report on Thursday night.
