The search at Mar-a-Lago by the FBI was referred to as an "assault on democracy" by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in defense of Donald Trump for his handling of sensitive records and urges President Joe Biden to apologize.

On Thursday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy urged President Joe Biden to retract his use of the word fascism to describe the views of the late President Donald Trump and his supporters.

Before the President's evening address in prime time, McCarthy made the comments during a rebuttal speech.

McCarthy Criticize Biden, Democrats

As Republicans battle to regain control of the House of Representatives before the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans have pounced on Biden's comparison of Trump's philosophy and the beliefs of his supporters to semi-fascism to attack the President.

McCarthy also used his speech to slam the President Joe Biden White House and the Democratic Party in general, claiming that Americans are hurting and that Democrats are failing to deliver.

The House minority leader claimed in his speech that he had spoken to Americans who believed that policies supported by President Joe Biden and the Democrats were making their life more difficult. He stated that the answer might lie in a Republican congressional majority. McCarthy discussed Republican positions on a variety of topics, including immigration, drug abuse, Covid-19 requirements, and education.

McCarthy once brought up American democracy, a subject Democrats frequently use to criticize Republicans for their support of Trump's bid to nullify the results of the 2020 election. McCarthy also implied that the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property was driven by politics, a claim that has always been refuted by the Justice Department, as per CNN.

Even though the government spent more than a year trying to get the records from Trump and his legal team, they have been rebuffed by Trump and his defenders, including McCarthy, for both the raid's existence and how it was carried out.

Trump claimed that the agents threw documents carelessly all over the floor after seeing a picture of secret papers scattered across a Mar-a-Lago floor next to a box of framed magazine covers that the Justice Department submitted in a recent court filing.

Trump's treatment of the information may or may not result in criminal charges, and it is unclear how big of risk his management of the documents presented to the country's security, according to Independent.
