Mukasey on Trump raid: What made it 'impossible' for FBI to use less intrusive measures?

Michael Mukasey, former attorney general, reacted to comments made by Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday on the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago on 'The Story.'

Former Attorney General under President George W. Bush Michael Mukasey current Attorney General Merrick Garland revealing he signed off on an FBI raid of Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago on ‘The Story’ Thursday.

MICHAEL MUKASEY: Well, there were two words that leaped out at me from his presentation. The words "when possible."

DOJ ASKS COURT TO UNSEAL MAR-A-LAGO RAID WARRANT; AG MERRICK GARLAND PERSONALLY SIGNED OFF ON TRUMP SEARCH

FBI DIRECTOR WRAY PUSHES BACK ON THREATS FOLLOWING UNPRECEDENTED RAID ON TRUMP: ‘DEPLORABLE AND DANGEROUS’
