The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed Friday that his panel has requested a “damage assessment” following the release of the affidavit used to obtain an FBI search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Friday that federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart did "the right thing" by issuing the warrant for the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search as there was "plenty of probable cause" included in the document.
The newly released affidavit that prompted a judge to approve a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida shows the warrant should not have been approved, Trump said on Aug. 26.
The FBI division overseeing the investigation of former President Trump’s handling of classified material at his Mar-a-Lago residence is also a focus of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation of the bureau’s alleged abuses of power and political bias during its years-long Russiagate probe of Trump.
