马里兰州州长拉里·霍根周日表示，司法部在证明重要性时需要透明上周对唐纳德·特朗普的Mar-a-Lago进行了史无前例的搜查但是他也批评了其他共和党人的反应激起了对执法的敌意。
“我仍然认为，透明度过去和现在都至关重要。霍根告诉美国广播公司“本周”的联合主播乔纳森·卡尔，联邦调查局在佛罗里达州前总统官邸的行动。“但我明白，在没有人明白这是怎么回事的情况下，这将会并可能导致双方进一步的分裂和愤怒的言论。”
“所以，我很高兴他们出来了解封搜索的文档霍根说。我认为这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。但我认为我们仍然有许多未解的问题，我们将继续下去，直到人们了解更多。"
根据法院周五公布的搜查令和相关文件的编辑副本，霍根告诉卡尔，他在Mar-a-Lago检索到机密和其他高度敏感的材料后感到担忧。
消息人士此前告诉美国广播公司新闻，搜查与特朗普离开华盛顿时带走的文件有关，包括国家档案馆称被标记为机密的一些记录。
通过一名发言人，特朗普声称这些文件已经解密。他说调查是出于政治动机。
“我认为这就是我们需要找到更多信息的地方:这些文件到底是什么，从国家安全的角度来看，它们有什么含义?”霍根说周日。“一方面，你可以说，‘好吧，司法部、联邦调查局和联邦法官认为他们应该这么做，那么事情肯定相当严重。’另一方面，由于缺乏更多的透明度，人们将继续妄下结论。"
在佐治亚州众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林(Marjorie Taylor Greene)等一些议员呼吁“解除联邦调查局(FBI)的资金，解散DOJ，并清除政治偏见和迫害的机构”后，对特朗普进行党内批评的霍根也警告说，其他共和党人会加剧正在进行的调查的紧张局势
这些评论在当局说一名持枪男子试图闯入俄亥俄州的联邦调查局办公室在搜索之后。
“这是令人愤慨的言论，”霍根说。“我的父亲，我的叔叔，我的两个堂兄弟都是联邦调查局的特工，我一直和特工们一起工作，州警察每天都和他们一起工作。这些都是敬业的执法人员。”
卡尔引用了一些众议院共和党人人的照片，他们在上周的搜查后拜访了川普，聚集在他周围。
“我不确定历史会深情地记住他们所有人，”霍根说。

“听着，我认为没有人可以凌驾于法律之上，但是在被证明有罪之前，每个人都是无辜的，”他说。“所以我们只需要看看这项调查会走向何方。”
霍根对自己的总统抱负讳莫如深，有关他的传言是由他一再呼吁共和党的反特朗普未来以及他最近对关键初选州的访问引发的，包括周四在爱荷华州博览会上的访问，这是保守派总统候选人的必去之地。
“我在全国各地帮助人们参加11月的选举。过去几周我去了10或12个州。在那里与人交谈真的很棒，”霍根说。“我肯定会发出声音，我会尽我所能让我的政党回到正轨，因为我想赢得选举，而不是输掉选举。”
Hogan says DOJ will need to prove importance of Trump search but calls out GOP response
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday the Department of Justice will need to be transparent in proving the importanceof the unprecedented search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago last weekbut also criticized the response from other Republicans who he saidinflamed animus against law enforcement.
"I still believe that transparency was and is critically important. I was not one of the people that was just reacting, just defending Donald Trump," Hogan told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl of the FBI operation at the former president's residence in Florida. "But I understood that, without anyone understanding what this was about, that it was going to and could lead to even further division and angry rhetoric from both sides."
"And so, I was happy that they did come out andunseal the documents on the search," Hogan said. "I think it was a step in the right direction. But I think we still have a lot of unanswered questions and we're gonna continue until people understand more."
Hogan told Karl that he was concerned after classified and other highly sensitive materials were retrieved at Mar-a-Lago, according to a redacted copy of the warrant and related papers that the court released Friday.
Sources previously told ABC News that the search was in connection to documents that Trump took with him when he departed Washington, including some records the National Archives said were marked classified.
Through a spokesperson, Trump claimed the files were declassified. He has said the investigation is politically motivated.
"I think that's what we have to find out more information about: What really are the documents and what are the implications from a national security standpoint?" Hogan said Sunday. "One side, you can say, 'well, the Justice Department, the FBI and the federal judge believed that they should do it, then it must be pretty serious.' On the other hand, with the absence of more transparency, people are going to continue to jump to conclusions."
Hogan, a loud intraparty critic of Trump, also warned against other Republicans exacerbating tensions over the ongoing investigation after some lawmakers like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene issued calls to "defund the FBI, dismantle the DOJ, and gut the agencies of political biases and persecutions."
Those comments continued after authorities said anarmed man tried to break into an FBI office in Ohiofollowing the search.
"It's outrageous rhetoric," said Hogan. "My father, my uncle, two of my cousins were FBI agents and I work with [agents] on an ongoing basis, state police work with them every single day. These are dedicated law enforcement officers."
Karl cited a photo of some House Republicans who visited Trump after last week's search, rallying around him.
"I'm not sure history’s going to remember all of them fondly," Hogan said.
"Look, I think no man is above the law, but everybody’s innocent until proven guilty," he said. "So we just have to see where this investigation leads."
Hogan was coy about his own presidential ambitions, rumors of which have been sparked by his repeated calls for an anti-Trump future for the GOP and his recent travels to key primary states, including on Thursday at the Iowa State Fair, a must-visit for conservative presidential hopefuls.
"I'm out helping people in this November election all around the country. I’ve been to 10 or 12 states in the past few weeks. And it’s really great to be out there talking to people," Hogan said. "I definitely am going to be a voice and I'm going to try to do what I can to get my party back on track, because I want to win elections instead of lose elections."
