Trump’s Mar-a-Lago: How does the FBI get a warrant to search a home?

LA Times  

News that FBI agents descended on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and searched it has spawned accusations of a politicized law-enforcement organization doing the bidding of the Biden administration in targeting political enemies. Experts say that even the decision to seek a warrant to search a former president’s property would probably have to have been approved by top officials at the Justice Department. Here’s a look at the process for obtaining a search warrant and laws governing government records: How do search warrants work? Brian O’Hare, president of the FBI Agents Assn., said Tuesday that all search warrants “must satisfy detailed and clear procedural rules, and are the product of collaboration and consultation with relevant Department of Justice attorneys.” In this particular case, execution of the warrant also included notifying the Secret Service detail that provides protection to the former president and his homes.
