'I understand other members of Congress have requested that you provide a full explanation for the raid at the former president's residence. I request that information immediately,' Johnson wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
'However, given your history of lack of transparency and obstruction of my investigations,' he continued, 'I am not confident that your explanation for the raid will be forthright, honest, or ease anyone's concerns.'

'I think we have to know under what pretense they think this is right?,' Paul questioned.
'This is really something that's going to require an investigation,' he continued. 'And I wouldn't be surprised if the investigation leads to abuse of power that this could even lead to an impeachment of the attorney general.'
