Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., argued during an exclusive interview with "Sunday Morning Futures" that the Federal Bureau of Investigation must return to being a nonpolitical agency.
She made the comment about two weeks after agents from the FBI executed a search warrant on Trump's Florida estate and seized items, which include 11 sets of material that are listed as classified, as well as some that were marked as top secret.
Former President Trump's legal counsel said on the Mark Levin Show that he's preparing to file a Fourth Amendment-related legal challenge "very soon" against the Department of Justice in relation to the Mar-a-Lago raid.
James Trusty, a former federal prosecutor, said last week that Trump's legal team is going to "weigh in very strong and very hard," stating that they are going to be "attacking" the search warrant used in the FBI's raid on the former president's Florida estate.
"We have seen the FBI become politicized, a certain group, a certain cabal in the FBI," the Tennessee senator told host Maria Bartiromo, noting that the FBI does have some "wonderful men and women who are working in that agency" and who have retired.
"The work that Senator [Chuck] Grassley is continuing to do is going to be very important to make certain that… the leadership of the FBI is returned to being a nonpolitical agency."
Senate Judiciary ranking member Chuck Grassley said whistleblower allegations reveal a "deeply rooted political infection" within the FBI.
