The FBI arrived on Monday evening with a search warrant at Donald Trump’s Florida residence. What exactly the investigators are looking for there is so far unclear. The former president complains that he is being “politically persecuted”.
According to former US President Donald Trump, the federal police FBI searched his property in Mar-a-Lago in the US state of Florida. “My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., is currently under siege, search and occupation by a large group of FBI agents, Trump wrote Monday evening (local time) on Truth Social, a network he co-founded. “This unannounced raid on my home was neither necessary nor appropriate,” Trump continued, adding that his safe was also opened.
Trump called the process “political persecution”. It is not yet clear why the property was searched. According to media reports, the FBI has now ended the search. A CNN reporter said Trump was not at home during the action.
The ex-president was recently heavily incriminated by witnesses at the public hearings of the investigative committee on the Capitol attack. Accordingly, Trump knew that the demonstrators were armed on January 6, 2021 and deliberately sent them to the Capitol.
Recently, there had been growing evidence that the Justice Department was investigating Trump’s behavior more closely. The question is whether Attorney General Merrick Garland might take criminal action once morest Trump. Trump is also accused of withholding files and documents from his time in the White House and even flushing down the toilet. Trump has denied that. Actually, in the USA all correspondence of the president has to be archived and kept for posterity.
