Hoards of angry Donald Trump supporters descended on his Mar-a-Lago home last night shortly after it emerged that the FBI was searching the former President’s estate as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to the Florida residence.
Trump, disclosing the search in a lengthy statement, asserted that agents had opened up a safe at his home and described their work as an ‘unannounced raid’ that he likened to ‘prosecutorial misconduct.’
The raid on Trump’s home represents a dramatic and unprecedented escalation of law enforcement scrutiny of the former president.
