More details and reactions continue to occur after the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. While left-leaning articles focus on divided Republican leadership, right-leaning articles focus on Attorney General Merrick Garland and party role reversal.
A left-leaning article from The Washington Post discusses how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reacted differently to the Mar-a-Lago raid. While McConnell made no reference to Trump and released a reserved statement, McCarthy charged that the Justice Department had “reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization.”
Newsweek published a centrist article reporting on how an FBI informer identified which documents Trump had taken from the White House and where they were in the house. The article also notes how the FBI timed their raid to ensure that Donald Trump was not home.
A right-leaning article from Fox News discusses how Attorney General Merrick Garland may have made a mistake in directing the FBI raid. The article also notes a role reversal for the parties as in the past Republicans had been the law-and-order party and Democrats were painted as soft on crime, but now Republicans criticize federal law enforcement.
