STORY: According to former US President Donald Trump, FBI employees searched his home in the US state of Florida. Mar-a-Lago is currently being besieged, searched and occupied by a large group of FBI agents, Trump said on Monday. “They even broke my safe,” wrote the ex-president. After cooperating with the relevant government authorities, this unannounced raid was neither necessary nor appropriate. Trump made no statements about the background to the FBI operation. According to a person familiar with the matter, the US Department of Justice launched an investigation in April into Trump’s outsourcing of official records of his tenure. The National Archives had informed Congress that about 15 boxes of White House documents had been secured at Trump’s private residence – some containing classified material. Trump had previously tried to keep some documents under wraps during the investigation into the storming of the Capitol. Several dozen supporters of the ex-president gathered in front of Trump’s Palm Beach property to protest the operation. A protester accused the US Democrats of using the FBI as a weapon against Trump. “President Trump is under investigation because they fear he will run again and win.” The hope that her idol would appear on site initially remained unfulfilled. According to the police, Trump’s trip was canceled.
