FBI searches Trump's safe at Mar-a-Lago club, former president says
The FBI declined to comment on whether it had conducted a search of the former president’s property.
A person familiar with the investigation said agents were conducting a court-authorized search as they probe the potential mishandling of classified documents that were shipped to Mar-a-Lago.Such a move — a court-ordered search of his property to look for possible evidence of a crime — is deeply unusual for a former president and represents a historic moment in Trump’s tortured relationship with the Justice Department, both in and out of the White House.
Trump said the raid was “unannounced” and claimed it was not “necessary or appropriate.” The former president, without evidence, accused Democrats of weaponizing the “justice system” against him. In a lengthy statement in which he equated the raid to Watergate, the former president accused the FBI of “even” breaking into his safe but provided no further details on what the FBI was looking for, or what else happened during their visit.The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection has held a series of high-profile hearings throughout the summer:
