The US attorney general has said he “personally approved” to seek a search warrant on Donald Trump’s Florida residence.
In a statement made in Washington DC, Merrick Garland said the Justice Department did “not take the decision lightly”.
He confirmed that federal agents searched Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday to probe whether he illegally removed records from the White House as he was leaving office.
The Justice Department has faced pressure since the raid to provide a public explanation for the search.
Mr Garland added that the warrant will be made public due to “substantial public interest”.
