The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago on Monday and Donald Trump's likely rivals are standing by him.
Around an hour after Trump's statement about the FBI search dropped on Truth Social, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis threw his support behind the former President.
The raid of MAL is an example of the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime's political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves, according to the man. Hunter Biden has not been charged with a crime.
Both Trump and DeSantis are seen as front runners for the presidency in 2024. The governor is focused on Florida and running for reelection this year, according to a representative.
South Dakota Gov. Noem said that the FBI search was an "unprecedented political weaponization" of the Justice Department.
As a candidate, as President, and now as a former President, they have been after President Trump. Noem said using the criminal justice system in this way is un-American.
The use of government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from third world dictatorships. Never before in America.
In a statement on Truth Social on Monday, Trump claimed that his home had been occupied by a group of FBI agents. FBI agents had access to Trump's safe, he confirmed in his statement.
Three sources told CNN that the search warrant was related to documents that may have been taken to Mar-a-Lago.
The DOJ was asked to investigate if Trump broke the law by taking government records to Mar-a-Lago.
