FBI raids Donald Trump’s Florida residence
Former US President Donald Trump has said that the FBI raided his Florida residence. Trump has said in his statement that a large number of FBI agents have taken control of his home Mar-a-Lago on Palm Beach.
According to the report, this raid by the FBI is related to the investigation of the way Trump handled government documents while he was president. Trump is also facing a parliamentary inquiry into the violence at the US capitol last year.
According to the report, when the FBI raided Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, the former US President was in Trump Tower in New York. Trump has said in the beginning of his statement that this is a difficult time for his country.
Trump said, “I have cooperated with all the necessary government agencies in the investigation. In such a situation, there was no point in the undeclared raid at my house. There is a procedural flaw in this raid. The judiciary is being influenced in its own way so that I cannot contest the presidential election of 2024.
Trump said, “With this kind of action, America can become one of the third world countries. It is sad that America has become like a country which is corrupt. America has never had such an image before.
CBS News has confirmed that the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago is related to an investigation into the maintenance of America’s National Archives records.
The National Archives is a US government agency. This agency keeps records from the President. In February, the US Justice Department called for an investigation against Trump over his handling of government documents.
According to the rules, all Presidents of America are required to submit all letters, all work-related documents and emails to the National Archives. But officials say Trump destroyed many documents.
The National Archives has said that some of the documents were retrieved. Trump, however, dismissed reports of tampering with government documents and called it fake news.
A senior Trump adviser in Palm Beach told CBS that the federal agency raid at Mar-a-Lago was linked to the president’s record. He said on condition of anonymity, “It was related to the violation of the rule of record related to the Red PRA i.e. the President.”
Sources said the FBI did not spend much time in the raid. New York Times journalist Maggie Huberman’s forthcoming book, ‘Confidence Man’, notes that White House staff sometimes found bales of paper in a toilet that blocked the pipe. It is believed that Trump used to flush these documents. Habermann also has photographs, including documents destroyed in a toilet.
Senior White House officials have told CBS that no notice was given regarding the raid on Trump’s home.
A senior White House official, who does not have the authority to speak publicly on the issue, has said that the White House was not aware of it in advance. The White House has said that there have been limited talks with the Justice Department in this matter. This is also because there is no talk of political pressure in this matter.
Joe Biden said in his presidential campaign that he would stay away from Justice Department matters. The president and his family are also waiting to see if a federal agency will indict his son Hunter Biden for tax evasion.
A select committee of the US House of Representatives has alleged that Trump’s supporters rioted at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 when lawmakers in Congress sat to seal Biden’s victory.
This committee has said that Trump supporters did this so that Trump remained in power. Members of this committee have said that there is solid evidence that Trump can be tried for obstructing the proceedings of Congress.
Members of the committee have said that Trump can also be tried for fraud. They also tried to destroy the evidence. The US Justice Department has already said that Trump’s challenge to the results of the 2020 presidential election is under investigation.
Last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland was asked by NBC News what concerns a former president are about to be framed? In response, he said that his intention is to make everyone accountable.
