Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan calls for release of documents in FBI raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home


Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan yesterday called on the Biden administration to release documents related to Monday's FBI raid at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Hogan's statement raised some eyebrows, as he has been a leading Republican critic of Trump over the last several years. It came a little over two hours after a similar tweet by a newer critic of Trump, his own former Vice-President, Mike Pence. 

Pence and Hogan are both exploring runs for the White House in 2024, and positioning themselves as alternatives to Trump. But both men appeared to be competing for media attention yesterday with another potential 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had issued a far more muscular criticism of the raid on Twitter a day earlier.

"Even before yesterday’s events at Mar-a-Lago, America was already dangerously divided," Hogan said in his statement. “These are unprecedented circumstances that require unprecedented transparency and accountability from our government institutions. The American people deserve to know all the facts as soon as possible, and I call on the Biden administration to release—at a minimum—the documents authorizing the FBI search."

“If the federal government cannot ultimately provide overwhelming evidence that action was absolutely necessary, then it will only undermine faith in democracy and the rule of law, and further divide Americans.”

  1. For a Federal Judge appointed by Trump to sign off on a search warrant on Trump’s home tells you there was overwhelming evidence that a crime may have been committed. It’s amazing how politicians always say no one is above the law but a remark like this, from Hogan, prove they believe otherwise.

    2. He’s a democrat. He is a Trump hater. Sounds ridiculous. For one, he is a Republican. Second, Trump was a democrat before becoming a republican. Lastly, who isn’t a Trump hater? If you weren’t before then where do you stand now?

    1. Objectivity is important … you as a democrat must be concerned and happy that this is happening to Trump … once this whole thing is exposed… many of us will be laughing at people like you. These democrats are in it for themselves. If you believe that this administration is doung a GREAT job for the citizens and the country as a whole … well, you will learn how to live in a third world country. That l is what this administration wants while they become richer and the population controlled … eating beans rice and bananas. Maybe you should apply for a job at the IRS for one of the 80 thousands new employees they are hiring…and of course you not understand why is being done… Good luck being I gineta is a bliss

  5. The NY Post things says he gave to Obama in 2008, and to Jeb Bush in 2016. But he was appointed as Judge in 2018 which was Trump-time.

    1. Apparently Judge Reinhart is Magistrate Judge who is voted into his position by District Judges. Trump did not appoint him.
