In an episode of his podcast released on Monday, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz made the unfounded claim that President Joe Biden is 'undermining the peaceful transfer of power' over the FBI's unannounced search of Donald Trump's mansion.
He also attacked Attorney General Merrick Garland for approving FBI agents' request to seek a warrant for the operation, which was then approved by a federal judge.
The White House has maintained that President Joe Biden and his officials only learned of the raid and Garland's subsequent remarks on it through public reports.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said as recently as Sunday that Biden has not been briefed on the situation nor has he discussed it with anyone in the White House.
Cruz joined a long list of Republicans condemning the Biden administration over the raid on Monday, calling the operation 'utterly unprecedented' during a taping of taping 'The Verdict with Ted Cruz.'
'Federal law enforcement officers raiding the home of a former president has never happened - going all the way back to George Washington,' the Texas conservative said.
'This has never happened, in significant part, because we're a country that has a tradition of the peaceful transfer of power.'
Senator Ted Cruz said during a taping of his podcast that the Biden administration is guilty of an 'abuse of power' over the FBI's unannounced search of Mar-a-Lago
