warrant. what happens next? welcome, everybody. i m charles payne in for neil cavuto for your world. we begin with david spunt at the justice department. david? i was in the room when merrick garland made those comments, history-making comment to see an attorney general talk about a search warrant that he authorized, the final person to sign off on the search warrant of a former president of the united states. i want to play some of what the attorney general said. listen. first, i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. charles, for days attorney general garland and fbi districter christopher wray have been under scrutiny for not coming out and speaking about this. attorney general merrick garland did today. he spoke a ....

Broke the water gate scandal. i want to play the clip of president trump who is in march after he left office talking to this documentary film maker alex holder about january 6th. can we talk for a minute about january 6th? yeah. well, it was a sad day, but it was a day where there was great anger in our country. people went to washington primarily because they were angry with an election that they think was rigged. a very small portion, as you know, went down to the capitol, and then a very small portion of them went in. but i will tell you they were angry from the standpoint of what happened in the election. because they re smart, and they saw what happened. and i believe that that was a big part of what happened on january 6th. i don t think anybody is ....
Ensure that all of those criminally responsible are held accountable, we must collect the evidence. we follow the physical evidence. we follow the digital evidence. we follow the money. but most important, we follow the facts. not an agenda or an assumption, the facts tell us where to go next. over 40 years ago in the wake of the water gate scandal, the justice department concluded that the best way to ensure the department s independence, integrity, and fair application of our laws and therefore the best way to ensure the health of our democracy is to have a set of norms to govern our work. the central norm is that in our criminal investigations, there can not be different rules depending on one s political party or affiliation. there cannot be different rules for friends and foes. ....
