00:06thoroughly politicized. That's what Republican Senator Ted Cruz had to say

00:10four days before the FBI searched Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. So how have some reacted to

00:39some Republicans have insisted that the FBI's affidavit be publicly released to show the

00:44department's justification for the search. And since the Mar-a-Lago search, some of Trump's

00:49political allies have compared the FBI to Nazi Germany's secret police force, demanded the

00:55agency be defunded, or continued to say that it is politically motivated.
