Garland Moves to Release Details on Search of Trump's Home: Attorney General Merrick B. Garland moved on Thursday to make public the legal authorization for the F.B.I.'s search of former President Donald J. Trump's home in Florida, and said he had personally approved the search after the failure of "less intrusive" attempts to retrieve documents taken from the White House by Mr. Trump. Mr. Garland also used the brief appearance to defend, at least implicitly, the Justice Department's handling of the case against the torrent of criticism directed at it by Mr. Trump and his allies. "Upholding the rule of law 司法原则 means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor," Mr. Garland said. "Under my watch that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing." Minutes before Mr. Garland took the podium, a top official in the Justice Department's national security division filed a motion to unseal the search warrant and an inventory of items retrieved in the search on Monday, with any national security information blacked out. Judge Bruce Reinhart, the federal magistrate in the Southern District of Florida who approved the search warrant and is handling to motion to unseal it, issued an order requiring the Justice Department to serve a copy of its motion to Mr. Trump's lawyers. It said the department must then tell the judge by 3 p.m. on Friday whether Mr. Trump opposes the motion. Mr. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination on Wednesday in a civil investigation into his business practices by the New York attorney general, and a close ally in the House had his phone seized by federal agents this week in one strand of the investigation into Mr. Trump's efforts to remain in power despite his election loss in 2020. Former President Donald J. Trump received a subpoena this spring in search of documents that federal investigators believed he had failed to turn over 上交 earlier in the year, when he returned boxes of material he had improperly 不应该 taken with him upon moving out of the White House, three people familiar with the matter said. The existence of the subpoena helps to flesh out the sequence of events that led to the search, and suggests that the Justice Department tried methods short of a search warrant to account for the material before taking the politically explosive step of sending F.B.I. agents unannounced to Mar-a-Lago. The subpoena suggests that the Justice Department tried methods short of a search warrant to account for 找回 (retrieve) the material before taking the politically explosive step of sending F.B.I. agents unannounced to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump's home and members-only club. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on Thursday confirmed that he personally signed off on a search warrant that was executed on Monday. He did not address a subpoena, but said that "where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means," indicating that other measures were tried before a search took place. During the same period, investigators were in contact with a number of Mr. Trump's aides who had some visibility ( I. Visibility means how far or how clearly you can see in particular weather conditions. the distance that you can see, depending on conditions such as the weather or the place that you are in. Thick fog reduced visibility 能见度 to almost zero. A line of tall trees restricted our visibility. poor/good/low visibility: The race was canceled due to poor visibility. Visibility was poor. II. 视野 if a vehicle such as a car has good visibility 视野良好, 视野好, it is designed so that the driver can easily see everything that is around the outside of the vehicle. II.

Federal officials came to believe that Mr. Trump had not relinquished [rəˈlɪŋkwɪ] ( If you relinquish something such as power or control, you give it up. to give up your power, position, or an advantage, especially when you do not want to do this. She was forced to relinquish her leadership. relinquish your hold on something (=give up control of something): The company was not about to relinquish its hold on the market. 搭配: Nouns: control, position, post, power, responsibility, right, role. It soon became clear that the ruling class did not want to relinquish control. Verbs: be forced to, be reluctant to, refuse to. He was reluctant to relinquish power.) all the material that left the White House with him at the end of his term, according to three people familiar with the investigation. The person said that the F.B.I. left behind a two-page manifest 清单, 详单 (inventory) ( manifest [ˈmænɪˌfest] verb. to show something such as a feeling or ability, so that it is easy to notice.

The F.B.I. does not need to list the substance [ˈsʌbstəns] ( I. 物质 a particular type of liquid, solid, or gas.

If the manifest is made public, it is likely to be redacted to shield any classified material. Some senior Republicans have been warned by allies of Mr. Trump not to continue to be aggressive in criticizing the Justice Department and the F.B.I. over the matter because it is possible that more damaging information related to the search will become public.

Sheldon: Although now that I think about it 想想的话, 话说起来, Leonard would never go swimming in public without his swim shirt. Amy: I'm sure he brought it. Sheldon: No, but last year, at Magic Mountain, he got such a bad sunburn, we had to cut him out of it. Amy: He probably got a new one. Finish your breakfast. Look, there's an entire section of my dashboard that doesn't have any syrup on it. Sheldon: You're acting odd. Why? Amy: I'm odd all the time, everyone knows that. Just last night I tried to see how many fava beans I could fit in my mouth. Sheldon: Tell me the truth. 2. Sheldon: Amy. What's going on? Amy: All right. Don't get upset, but, an earlier appointment opened up for Leonard and he's getting the surgery right now. Sheldon: I see. Take me to Leonard. Amy: Just go to work, he'll be fine. Sheldon: Amy, he's my best friend, and if you don't take me, I'm going there anyway. Amy: Fine. It's sweet that you care about him so much. Sheldon: I do. And I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to him and I wasn't at his bedside to say I told you so. 3. Penny: We had a really nice swim. Sheldon: Oh, stop it.

Leonard: Okay, first of all, the surgery was a success, and secondly, I didn't even want you there. Sheldon: Wow. I don't know which hurts worse, my nose or my heart. Well, I'm done speaking to you. Amy: Don't be like that. You two need to talk this out 话说开了. Penny: Yeah, 'cause you sound really funny. Leonard: Sheldon, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the surgery, but you were worried about nothing 瞎担心. Sheldon: Oh, you're hardly out of the woods 脱离险境, no. You still run the risk of infection, a blood clot, the possibility that an inattentive surgeon let a barn spider lay eggs in your nose. The minute you sneeze web, I'm moving out. Leonard: I never thought I'd say these words, but come on, nose spider. Penny: Who are you kidding? You were so panicked Leonard was gonna die, you'll never leave him. Amy: Sheldon will move out eventually. Penny: Yeah, once he figures out how to work a door. Sheldon: I was not panicked, and I am not overly attached to Leonard. Leonard: You were so worried that you smashed your face trying to check on me. You love me. Sheldon: Yeah. Tell me those aren't the words of a man with a spider eating its way through his brain. Amy, you're a neuroscientist. Crack his skull open, spray some Raid in there. 6. Penny: I haven't been on a job interview in years. I'm really nervous. Bernadette: Don't be.

Bernadette: Penny, I wouldn't have put you up for 推荐你, 推举你 this job if I didn't think you could handle it. Penny: Oh, thank you, but maybe I should cancel. Bernadette: It's too late to cancel. You're going. Penny: But I don't know anything about pharmaceuticals. Bernadette: Oh, I understand. You want to do something you're already good at. I know. Why don't I get you a job at the Sitting Around All Day Wearing Yoga Pants Factory? Penny: They're comfortable. 7. Sheldon: Any word on my stolen items? Hernandez: We're doing everything we can.
