Trump Says FBI Is Raiding Mar-A-Lago

Former President Donald Trump said in a statement Monday that the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago home.

It is not immediately clear why the former president’s Florida resort was raided. Trump denounced the raid, which he suggested was ongoing, calling it “prosecutorial misconduct.”

“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”

“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections,” the former president added.

This is a breaking piece and will be updated.
