According to Donald Trump, the FBI searched his son's room at Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI and Justice Department were attacked by Trump in his first political rally since the raid.
Trump said that they rifled through the first lady's drawers.
Everything they touched in the room of my 16-year-old son was not the same as it was when they started. Can you tell me if it's true?
The FBI rifled through the former first lady's bedroom and closet at Mar-a-Lago because she viewed it as a violation of her privacy.
According to an unnamed source, she is protective of her home and her son. There haven't been any reports about the FBI looking at his room.
If the FBI had any reason to look for records in the room, they would look for them, according to Mariotti.
"If Trump is storing boxes of classified documents or presidential records or other types of documents that could potentially be one or the other in the bedroom of his son, then he should understand that that's why the Justice Department is searching there," Mariotti said. A portion of Mariotti's interview was published.
He said he didn't take anything that Trump said at face value.
The FBI seized about 20 boxes of material from Trump's home. FBI agents took some documents from the former president's bedroom, office, and storage room.
The Espionage Act was one of the laws that may have been broken by Trump.
A former counterintelligence chief at the DOJ said last week that the investigation was moving towards criminal charges.
Before the November elections, the former president was campaigning for Republicans.
The representatives for Trump did not reply immediately.
