Trump said in a statement that the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that something like this has happened to a president. The raid on my home was not necessary after I worked and cooperated with the Government agencies.
The search was confirmed by Trump.
It is not clear what the warrant was about. The Justice Department is looking into Trump's attempts to change the result of the election. In February, the National Archives asked the department to investigate if Trump broke the law when he took official government records with him to Mar-a-Lago.
The former president said in his statement that the raid was part of a plan to stop him from running for president in four years.
He said that they broke into his safe.
Federal investigators probing events related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot are closing in on his inner circle, as his lawyers warn him. According to CNN, Trump's attorneys are in talks with the Justice Department about whether the former president can assert executive privilege with respect to conversations he had with advisers.
According to reports, Trump's lawyers have told him not to talk to former aides who are involved in the Justice Department's criminal probe. According to CNN, they are concerned about MarkMeadows, who they believe could be a crucial fact witness in the department's investigation.
