Ex-President Donald Trump said on Monday that FBI agents had searched his Mar-a-Lago club and home in Palm Beach, Fla., and unlocked his safe.
Trump posted on Truth Social, his preferred social network, on Monday evening:
“My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,”
“They even broke into my safe.”
Agents seem to be concentrated on the area of the sprawling estate where Trump’s living quarters and offices are located.
Trump’s son said:
“The purpose of the raid was, from what they said, was because the National Archives wanted to corroborate whether or not Donald Trump had any documents in his possession,”
“And my father has worked so collaboratively with them for months. In fact, the lawyer that’s been working on this was totally shocked. He goes, ‘I have such an amazing relationship with these people and all of a sudden, on no notice, they send 20 cars and 30 agents?”
Junior Trump said he got a call about the search being executed on Monday morning and informed his father.
In a report put out by his political action committee, Trump said Mar-a-Lago was under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.”
The report reads:
“After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,”
Trump went ahead to lay blame on Democrats who do not want him to run for the presidency in 2024 for the raid and added that the same people also want to stop Republicans from winning in the midterm elections.
