LINCOLN- Gov. Pete Ricketts said that he wants “more transparency” from the FBI and Department of Justice about the decision to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
If it’s not, the governor said, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christoper Wray should resign.
Ricketts said he wants to see the affidavits that supported the search warrants that were approved by a Florida judge — affidavits that the Justice Department has asked to remain sealed because of an ongoing investigation.
He said that both the FBI and Department of Justice have had “a recent track record” of “appearing to be politically motivated.”
Ricketts cited the handling of the Steele dossier, which alleged a conspiracy between the Trump campaign in 2016 and the Russians—- allegations that were later discredited — and the handling of the affair involving Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
Many Republicans have called for more oversight of the Department of Justice in the last week.
