Graham pushes for release of Trump search affidavit: "We're flying blind"

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday again called for the release of the FBI affidavit used as justification for the search at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, saying that without it, "we're flying blind in the dark."

Why it matters: Graham's remarks come as Republican lawmakers are pressing the Department of Justice and FBI to unseal the affidavit and release additional information related to the search.

Former President Trump also on Tuesday called for the release of the affidavit, writing on his Truth Social account: "In the interest of transparency, I call for the immediate release of the completely unredacted affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking break-in."

Driving the news: "When it comes to Trump there are no rules, every Republican should be suspicious of what's happened in the past, happening again," Graham, who last week also called for the release of the affidavit, said on Fox News.
