Chris Christie said the FBI searching Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and safe was 'fair game'

The former governor of New Jersey called the search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence a fair game.

Christie said in a radio interview that he believed the FBI agents had enough evidence to convince a judge to allow them to search Trump's property.

Trump highlighted how agents broke into his safe.

Christie, a former federal prosecutor, said that you just have to show probable cause to a federal judge.

Christie said that it's not out of bounds for someone to go into a safe.

You have to have the facts in order to convince a federal judge that you need and have the right to do that.

The former governor hoped that the facts that led to the Trump search warrant were carefully examined by the FBI chief and the attorney general. He believes they understand the gravity of raiding the home or office of a former president.

You should not be doing this. He said that there should be grave concerns about the conduct of the search warrant.

The most important document for everyone to see is the search warrant affidavit, according to Christie.

"I hope that more information comes sooner rather than later because the longer you wait, the more speculation will be generated and that's not good for anyone," he said.

The FBI did not give a reason for the raid. Eric Trump said in a Fox News interview that it was over material that Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House.

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

Christie's memoir states that Trump berated him when he recommended Wray for the job. Christie said that Trump claimed that Wray was the worst member of the administration and that he was blowing up at him.

According to a 2020 Washington Post report, Trump's anger at the FBI chief was due to him not opening an investigation into the Bidens before the election.

Christie is a critic of the former president. Christie said in May that Trump wanted the GOP to focus on him. He said that Trump's endorsements were not based on political analysis.
