Rep. Adam B. Schiff said Sunday that public pressure to unseal the affidavit used in the search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida home could put FBI agents at personal risk or be used by Trump’s attorneys to intimidate witnesses.
said last week he is inclined to do so after asking the Justice Department to redact parts of it. Multiple news outlets, including The Washington Post, called on the court to release the affidavit.The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Michael R. Turner , told CBS’s “Face the Nation,” that the affidavit should be released to allow the public to see whether the search was justified as a matter of national security. “Show us what you found,” Turner said.
Lawmakers from both parties Sunday criticized statements from some Republicans who attacked the FBI for the search at Mar-a-Lago. Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw labeled Republican calls to “defund the FBI” as “crazy.”But Crenshaw said the heated criticism of the bureau was not to blame for the Aug. 11 attempted“What we want is accountability. We want transparency,” he said. “And the criticisms that we’re leveling against the FBI and DOJ are fully warranted. It is not those criticisms that lead to a crazy person attacking an FBI.
He stressed that the government will want to ensure that partisan actors don’t create a “carnival atmosphere” around the investigation.
