FBI Director Christopher Wray pushed back Wednesday against Republican critics who condemned the FBI’s search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to recover classified government documents.
“I would not call it a raid. I would call it the execution of a lawful search warrant,” Mr. Wray said in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
“It has sometimes been described as a SWAT operation. It was not. There was no SWAT involvement,” he said. Evidence obtained in the search of Mr. Trump’s home and offices at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, was used in the criminal case against him. He has pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts, including 31 counts of willful retention of government documents.
