Justice Department files motion to unseal Mar-a-Lago search warrant
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Merrick Garland has spoken publicly from Washington this afternoon three days after agents searched former president Donald Trump’s Florida estate.Garland also said that he personally approved the search warrant, which was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida earlier this year.It was not immediately clear if and when the unsealing request, filed in federal court in Miami, might be granted or when the documents could be released.Now, the Justice Department has asked a court to unseal the search warrant the FBI received before searching the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, Garland said Thursday.Before Garland's remarks, there had been no high-level comment from the Justice Department since federal agents spent most of the day Monday at Trump’s winter home, reportedly retrieving documents and even opening a safe.The FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. While Republicans have rallied behind Trump, very few facts about the case have been released publicly. RELATED: FBI's search of Trump's Florida estate: Why now?Trump's attorneys have so far declined to release details from the search warrant, and the former president – who was in New York at the time of the search – has suggested on social media that agents could have been planting evidence at his home.Mar-a-Lago, seen from the air.

Masks will be optional at Temple University for most indoor, outdoor parts of campus
PHILADELPHIA - Temple University says masks will be optional in all non-healthcare indoor and outdoor settings to start the Fall semester."When it comes to masking, we encourage all members of the Temple community to make the best decision for themselves, taking into consideration all factors, including COVID-19 transmission levels, the indoor setting and their own health, while respecting the decisions of others to protect themselves," the school said in a press release. Temple is still encouraging students and staff to have a mask handy and be willing to wear it to keep vulnerable members of the school community safe. Free surgical masks are available at the entrance of every building, according to the school, and a limited number of KN95s are available in Main Campus buildings. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES"We will continue to monitor the situation and may have to make adjustments to our masking and other policies later in the semester depending on conditions, but for now, let’s be respectful to each other and take care of ourselves," the school said. Meanwhile, the Temple Association of University Professionals (TAUP) shared a statement saying it "does not agree with the university's decision on masks." They claim the decision was made without "meaningful consultation" with faculty or staff. TAUP is requesting that Temple allow instructors the option to require masking in their classrooms and teaching spaces.In accordance with Philadelphia's vaccine mandate on institutions of higher education, Temple students and staff are still required to have at least the original COVID-19 series.
