Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he intends to investigate the FBIโ€™s raid of former President Donald Trumpโ€™s Mar-a-Lago resort if Republicans take back the Senate during the 2022 midterms.

In an interview on Saturday, Grassley said that with Trump, โ€œthe FBI over a long period of time has kind of a double standard. You know, you can go back to the Steele Dossier.โ€

โ€œAnd it just seems to me like they thereโ€™s political bias in the FBI,โ€ he told Breitbart News. โ€œAnd then I have recentlyโ€”youโ€™ve heard me give evidence of political bias of starting a Trump investigation and then quitting a Hunter Biden investigation. So itโ€™s legitimate to raise the question about the extent to which thereโ€™s still political bias and what weโ€™re doing now.โ€

Grassley then took issue with Attorney General Merrick Garlandโ€™s comments on transparency, saying that โ€œhe should make sure that the affidavits follow up on the warrant.โ€

So far, the Department of Justice has not released the affidavit that would explain why the FBI needed to obtain a warrant to search Trumpโ€™s property. Garland and the FBI have remained mostly silent on the raid, with Garland issuing a brief statement during a news conference on Aug. 11.

On Aug. 12, a judge in the case unsealed part of the warrant the FBI used to search Trumpโ€™s property. A property receipt said the FBI seized classified documents, although itโ€™s not clear what they were.

The search and seizure warrant shows FBI agents targeted โ€œthe โ€™45 Office,โ€™ all storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS (former president of the United States) and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate.โ€

Agents were granted authority to seize โ€œall physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed,โ€ according to the warrant. That includes documents with classification markings and presidential records that were drafted between Jan. 20, 2017, and Jan. 20, 2021โ€”the entire time Trump was in office.
