But Trump issued a statement. “My beautiful house, Sea-To-Lake in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently besieged, raided and occupied by a large group of fbi agents”, acknowledged the former president, who did not indicate what they were looking for. “They even entered my safe!” added the former Republican president who was victimized.
According to sources in the Department of Justice, Trump would have taken classified documents to Mar-A-Lago during his presidency. Documents that the tycoon originally kept in Trump Tower in New York City, said a person familiar with the movements of the former president. At the time of the raid, Trump was at his golf course in Bedminster in New Jersey.
Trump complained that he was being mistreated by “the Democrats who desperately they want to prevent me from running for president in 2024“, he added.
