We must see the probable cause for the warrant to search President Trump\u2019s residence and know what caused a Judge to approve the warrant,\u201d Rep.

The reasons for probable cause should be released. If this search was not justified, the motivations of those who authorized it should be investigated,\u201d Sen.
