Trump Announces ‘Major Motion’ Following FBI Raid

Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that a “major motion” will soon come following the FBI’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort.

“A major motion pertaining to the Fourth Amendment will soon be filed concerning the illegal Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, right before the ever important Mid-Term Elections,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, less than two weeks after the FBI raided his resort in Mar-a-Lago in search of supposedly classified documents.

“My rights, together with the rights of all Americans, have been violated at a level rarely seen before in our Country,” Trump continued. “Remember, they even spied on my campaign. The greatest Witch Hunt in USA history has been going on for six years, with no consequences to the scammers. It should not be allowed to continue!”

Trump’s announcement, if it were to materialize, represents the former president’s first major legal move after the feds raided his Florida home. It is unclear as of writing who Trump plans to sue, but the Department of Justice (DOJ), specifically Attorney General Merrick Garland—who said he “personally approved” the warrant—would likely be among the defendants.

One of Trump’s lawyers, James Trusty, said on the Mark Levin show late Friday that the lawsuit will come “very soon.”

“It should be something that gets publicly filed, so the whole United States will get to read this thing,” Trusty, a former federal prosecutor, said of the lawsuit on the show. “And I think that’s very important to the president. He’s been very transparent through this whole process.”

“It’s coming very soon,” Trusty said, adding that the team will possibly file it Monday.
