WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement following the FBI’s unprecedented raid yesterday of former President Trump’s home.

Senator Rick Scott said, “If Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray do not make public statements today explaining to the American people exactly what they did at Mar-a-Lago and why, they will have lost what little public trust they may have had and no longer deserve to remain in office. All related records must be made available to Congress NOW and every Republican must demand accountability. Since President Biden claims he didn’t know, he needs to come out today and demand that all facts be presented to the American people.

“When Republicans retake the majority in the Senate, there will be a thorough and aggressive investigation. Everything needs to be on the table for AG Garland, including impeachment if he doesn't come out today and explain what happened. Today, the nation is watching and we demand answers.”
