Donald Trump said on Monday that the FBI had raided his home.

In a statement posted to his social media website, Trump said that his home in Palm Beach, Florida is currently under siege by a large group of FBI agents.

The attack on the U.S. Capitol is being investigated by the DOJ. The president tried to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. A federal grand jury is looking into whether Trump mishandled classified documents, including taking 15 boxes of materials to the Florida resort.

A judge would need to agree that there was probable cause in order for a search warrant to be approved.

Keep in mind that FBI can obtain a search warrant only if a judge finds probable cause to believe that evidence of a specific crime will be found on the premises.

According to the New York Times, two people familiar with the investigation said it appeared to be centered on material Trump brought with him from the White House.

Trump's handling of records that are subject to protection under the Presidential Records Act was under scrutiny after a New York Times reporter released photos that appeared to show that Trump tried to dispose of documents by ripping them up and placing them in toilets.

The White House said in a statement to NBC News that they did not know about the FBI search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

Florida Politics reported minutes before Trump posted his statement about the raid that the FBI had executed a search warrant.

The safe they broke into was mine. The Watergate break-in was compared by Trump in the statement. Hillary Clinton was allowed to destroy 33,000 e-mails after she was subpoenaed by congress. The FBI recommended that Clinton not be charged with a crime and the State Department cleared her of any wrongdoing.

Trump wrote, "I will continue to fight for the great american people!"
