Trump released the following statement:
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.
Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After
working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid
on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the
weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who
desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls,
and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming
Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World
Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not
seen before. They even broke into my safe! 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
