A prominent member of the House Intelligence Committee told The Epoch Times that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s authorization of the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla. was politically motivated.

“This (Garland) is a guy who President Trump prevented from becoming a Supreme Court justice. He’s also a guy that is appointed by President Biden, who more than likely will be running against President Trump in two years,” said Rep. Markwayne Mullin  (R–Okla). “It (the raid) is clearly about politics.”
