    F.B.I. Searches Trump’s Home in Florida
    The former president said in a statement that Mar-a-Lago had been “raided, and occupied by a large group of F.B.I. agents.”

    Former President Donald J. Trump said on Monday that the F.B.I. had searched his Palm Beach, Fla., home and had broken open a safe — an account that, if accurate, would be a dramatic escalation in the various investigations into the former president.

    The search, according to two people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House. Those boxes contained many pages of classified documents, according to a person familiar with their contents.

    Mr. Trump delayed returning 15 boxes of material requested by officials with the National Archives for many months, only doing so when there became a threat of action being taken to retrieve them.


    Mr. Trump was known throughout his term to rip up official material that was intended to be held for government archives.


    “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Mr. Trump said, maintaining it was an effort to stop him from running for president in 2024. “Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.”

    “They even broke into my safe!” he wrote. “What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.”

    Mr. Trump did not share any details about what the F.B.I. agents said they were searching for. But he depicted himself as a victim of shadowy forces seeking to damage him.

    The search took place on Monday morning, a person familiar with it said, although Mr. Trump claimed agents were still there many hours later.


    The search was at least in part for whether any records remained at the club, the person familiar with the search said.


    The reported search came at a time when the Justice Department has also been stepping up questioning of former Trump aides who had been witnesses to discussion and planning in the White House of Mr. Trump’s efforts to remain in office after his loss in the 2020 election.

    Mr. Trump has been the focus of questions asked by federal prosecutors in connection with a scheme to send “fake” electors to Congress for the certification of the Electoral College.

    “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Mr. Trump said in the statement. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” Mr. Trump said.

    So much for Merrick Garland being timid.

    Before he can declare himself a candidate for 2024.....this tells me they're not fucking around with any chance he gets to run for office ever again.

    I can't find any article that doesn't have nothing but Trump as the sole provider of this information. He lies too much to ever be believed.

    The feds just interviewed his lawyer after the Jan 6th committee was finished with him....they have something they can't ignore anymore is my guess...that and the boxes of material he stole on his way out of DC. The phone call to a witness by the committee is clearly witness tampering and recently we've heard Garland state that he's not above the law....this makes perfect sense to me...my only question is why did it take so long?

    No matter what I still won’t believe anything will ever happen to Trump. I’m just waiting for him to die.

    This is becoming somewhat comedic.

    On the anniversary of Tricky Dick resigning.

    I remember calling my mother with congratulations.

    Unsurprisingly with only a handful of exceptions this is exactly what the Republicans want to have happen to get him out of the way..now we'll see who circles the wagons around the MAGA cult.

    He has probably long destroyed any evidence though.

    Who knows though, maybe they found something.

    I'm pretty sure the feds have talked to everyone who taped back together the classified documents he ripped up...and burned or clogged toilets with.
