Eric Trump told his father that Mar-a-Lago was being searched by the FBI.

Trump said he was the person that got the call.

Trump told his father that it happened. I was involved in this all day

The FBI searched the Mar-a-Lago home of Donald Trump on Monday. The former president said the FBI broke into his safe when they executed the search warrant, despite having himself appointed the FBI's current director.

The Trump family has taken more arrows in the back than any other family, according to Eric Trump.

Trump said that they got another subpoena every day. To have 30 FBI agents descend on Mar-a-Lago give absolutely, you know, no notice. Runsacking an office and a closet can be done by going through the gate. They were able to break into a safe. There was nothing in the safe. Give me time to rest.

Trump said that his father kept "press clippings" and other items when he was a child.

You would have newspaper articles and pictures from us. He had all the notes when my mom died. Over the years they've kept all the notes that she had written him. It's a pretty thing. My father has a collection of clippings.

When his father left the White House, Trump said that he took boxes with him.

Trump said if you want to search for anything, come ahead. It was an open door policy.

The Trumps have not handed over documents or cooperated with investigators in the past.

Donald Trump was fined $10,000 a day by the New York attorney general for not complying with a subpoena to hand over personal business documents. The contempt-of-court order was lifted after more information was given to the court by Trump's lawyers.

Three sources told CNN that the FBI searched for documents that may have been taken to Mar-a-Lago.

The National Archives asked the DOJ to investigate whether or not Trump broke the law when he took government records from the White House to his Florida home.
