WASHINGTON, August 13 – RIA Novosti. Member of the US House of Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Georgia) has said she will propose to fire US Attorney General Merrick Garland for searching the property of former President Donald Trump.

According to him, the head of the US Department of Justice, who is also the attorney general, “misused his powers to expose his opponents to political persecution” of the current head of state, Joe Biden.

“The purpose of this action is to prevent (former) President Trump from returning to the Oval Office,” the congressman said.

On Monday evening, Trump said his Mar-a-Lago property was searched by FBI agents. The former president added that FBI agents did not allow anyone, including lawyers, to be present during the searches. Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Thursday that he had personally allowed a lawsuit to be filed for a search warrant, the decision was not easy but justified. On Friday afternoon, the United States declassified a search warrant for Trump’s property.

As the Wall Street Journal wrote on Friday, FBI agents seized 11 sets of classified documents during searches of the former president’s mansion, and about 20 boxes of documents, photographs and notes were also taken from there. Among the seized papers was an amnesty for Roger Stone, Trump’s former adviser.

Trump said earlier that there was no need for FBI agents to search his property in Florida. According to the former president of the United States, all documents seized by the feds have been declassified, in addition, he claims that he is ready to voluntarily hand them over to the authorities.
