Attorney for ABC & Wall Street Journal Deanna Shullman says the DOJ investigation may be targeting Trump and others.

Attorney for ABC & The Wall Street Journal Deanna Shullman speaks with reporters about the affidavit used to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-lago home. The Department of Justice investigation on the issue is yet to be completed and it is unclear if Donald Trump is being indicted or they are other people involved. A federal judge in Florida has asked the Department of Justice to submit a copy of the affidavit with proposed redactions for the information it wants to keep secret.

SHULLMAN: And this investigation, we don't exactly know who the potential indictees or arrestees are. I mean we shouldn't assume that it's President Trump, it maybe others. It may include him, but it may also be others. And so even if we see an arrest come down, it doesn't necessarily mean that the investigation is concluded at that time.

REPORTER: So that wouldn't change maybe the decision

SHULLMAN: Time will tell. Yeah, we don't know the breadth of the investigation. That's the problem.
