The Mar-a-Lago raid resulted in the recovery of 11 boxes of classified documents.
According to sources, someone told the feds about the materials and where to look.
Mary Trump thinks that her uncle's son-in-law may have been the source of the information.
Mary Trump believes that the person who may have given the FBI information about documents held at Mar-a-Lago by her uncle, former President Donald Trump, could be his son-in-law and adviser.
During a radio interview on Friday, she made a comment. The host asked who she thought could be the Mar-a-Lago mole, after reports said the FBI was tipped off by a person close to the former president.
The first thing we need to do is find out who would have access to this stuff. The former chief of staff was dismissed by Mary Trump.
"I think we need to look very hard at why a fund led by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia invested $2 billion in a private equity firm run by my brother-in-law," she stated. He has been quiet for a long time now.
"We need to think about who could also be implicated in this that would need as big a play as turning Donald in to get out of trouble, or at least to mitigate the trouble they're in," she said. It sounds like someone inJared's situation. It could be, but I'm not saying it is.

Mary Trump wasn't the first person to point the finger at the president's son-in-law.
Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney and fixer, told Insider's Natalie Musumeci on Thursday that he thought the FBI might have a mole.
Cohen said he would not be surprised if it was one of his children.
Who would know about the contents of a safe? Cohen has become a critic of the president.
The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. The search was part of an investigation into possible violations of three laws related to handling government documents. 11 boxes of classified materials were recovered.
There were reports in The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek that said there was an Informant.
Two government officials told Newsweek that a person told law enforcement about some documents at Mar-a-Lago. The person knew where the documents were being kept.
Sources told the Journal that someone told investigators that there were more classified materials at Mar-a-Lago than the 15 boxes Trump had turned over.
He was a senior adviser to his father-in-law. Since leaving the White House last year, he and his wife have remained out of sight.
He wrote in his memoir that he was ready for the end of Trump's presidency.
"It's been a wild five years, but in thirty days, we'll have a lot less responsibility and we'll get our lives back," according to the memoir.
Business Insider has an article on it.
