William Barr defends FBI and justice department over Mar-a-Lago search

The actions of the department look more understandable,' Trump's attorney general tells the New York Times in an interview

Former attorney general William Barr came to the defense of the FBI and the justice department's (DoJ) judicial request to search Donald Trump's Florida home and country club compound last month, saying Friday that documents seized in the search appeared to support the department's claims of a national security risk.

As more information comes out, the actions of the department look more understandable," Barr told the New York Times in an interview.
