MERRICK GARDLAND, Attorney General (Wikipedia).

A request to “unseal” the warrant used by FBI agents to seize documents from former president Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home was made Thursday by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

According to The New York Times, the move came after harsh criticism by Republicans of the Justice Department’s action. The serving of the warrant also inspired threats against federal officers.

In a possibly-related incident, a man who tried to force his way into the Cincinnati office of the FBI was fatally shot by state lawmen after exchanging fire with members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, according to The Associated Press.

The man, identified as Ricky Shiffer, 42, was armed and wearing body amor.
