\u2014 it has yet to comment on <em>who <\/em>within the Biden administration first authorized the search.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FBI obtained a search warrant, which was signed off by Florida federal

If the House GOP doesn\u2019t deliver on it, Banks said Republicans run the risk of letting Democrats keep the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur party reflects Trump\u2019s influence in a big way,\u201d Banks said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t do what we say we are going to do to before 2024, we won\u2019t win back the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To Americans watching the news of the raid Banks offered this message: \u201cThe House GOP is fighting back.
