The DOJ could answer “some very basic questions that won’t undermine any investigation,” Turley explained, and that would allow Garland to “shoot down” the speculation that this was “really a pretextual effort to find January 6 material.”

“Are you surprised the former president or somebody on his team has not released the search warrant?” Emanuel asked.

“I am,” said Turley. “And that’s a lack of transparency on the Trump side.”

“They can release certainly the first page of that warrant that was used,” he concluded. “Why wouldn’t you release that? Obviously, they don’t believe that’s in their self-interest, but that is another example of the lack of transparency on both sides. I think they should release that information so that we could try to get a better handle on what has occurred here because there are serious concerns on both sides.”
