Text: In considering a district court's denial of a motion to suppress, we review its conclusions of law and application of the law to the facts, such as its finding of probable cause, de novo. United States v. Kincaide, 145 F.3d 771, 779 (6th Cir. 1998). [A] denial of a motion to suppress will be affirmed on appeal if the district court's conclusion can be justified for any reason. United States v. Pasquarille, 20 F.3d 682, 685 (6th Cir.1994). Further, in reviewing the denial of the motion, we may consider trial evidence in addition to the evidence admitted at the suppression hearing. United States v. Brown, 66 F.3d 124, 126 (6th Cir.1995); United States v. Perkins, 994 F.2d 1184, 1188 (6th Cir.1993) (stating that we have held generally that [we are] `not restricted to considering evidence offered during the hearing on the motion to suppress' and that we may consider evidence offered during the trial of a case as it may bear on the question of probable cause) (quoting United States v. McKinney, 379 F.2d 259, 264 (6th Cir. 1967)).
