On Monday night, Mr. Trump issued a lengthy statement in which he claimed that a “large group” of FBI investigators had broken into a safe at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. An probe into his handling of sensitive and confidential information is apparently the reason for the search. Justice Department and FBI have not yet responded.

The Secret Service was informed of the warrant’s impending execution at around 10:00 local time (14:00 GMT), according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. The official also said that agents guarding Mr. Trump assisted the FBI investigators.

According to the source, a few boxes were hauled away, but no doors were broken, and the search was over by late afternoon. Some sources indicate that the FBI operation, which Mr. Trump referred to as a “unannounced raid,” was related to a probe into whether the former president removed critical documents and classified information from the White House and brought them to Mar-a-Lago.

The management of National Archives (NA) records that were brought to the Florida estate after his father left office, according to Eric Trump, the second-oldest son of the president, is the subject of an investigation, he told Fox News. According to the Presidential Records Act (PRA), US presidents must transmit all of their papers and correspondence to the NA.

A government organisation reported in February that it had taken 15 cartons of documents from Mar-a-Lago that Mr. Trump was supposed to turn up when he departed the White House. Later, it informed Congress of the existence of the boxes containing what was designated as highly sensitive national security material and requested an investigation from the Justice Department.

At the time, Mr. Trump called claims that he had improperly handled official data “fake news” and denied them. Legal experts believe this warrant was likely approved at the highest echelons of the Justice Department, even though a judge must sign a federal search warrant. Although such a request does not imply that criminal charges are anticipated, law enforcement authorities must first show that there is a chance that illicit activity would be supported by evidence.

Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department have made any statements regarding ongoing investigations. The search represents a significant step forward in the lengthy probe into the handling of secret data and occurs as Mr. Trump, who was in New York at the time, gets ready for a potential second run for president in 2024. The unexpected raid on his residence, he claimed in his statement, was neither necessary nor proper because he had cooperated with all pertinent government agencies.

Only impoverished, Third-World nations could perpetrate such an onslaught, he claimed. “Unfortunately, America is become one of those nations, with levels of corruption unheard of.” Some of Donald Trump’s followers have become more active after hearing about the hunt. While other people travelled to Trump Tower in New York, a group gathered in front of Mar-a-Lago to wave flags and voice their outrage.

Republicans in Congress vented their rage in the meantime. Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy declared: “The Department of Justice has reached an untenable state of weaponized politicisation.”

According to a senior White House official, President Joe Biden’s administration was not informed in advance of the FBI search that took place in Florida on Monday. To avoid any hints of political pressure or improper behaviour, the White House has stated that it is restricting its interactions with Justice Department personnel.

Trump is in danger, but also has a chance

Gary O’Donoghue, a correspondent in Washington, provides analysis. We don’t know what the FBI was seeking for, but search warrants aren’t usually granted on a whim or so that agents may conduct a fishing expedition. The judge must be persuaded that searching that particular property could turn up evidence of a crime based on reliable evidence.

As the justice department has not yet provided a response, we are unsure of which offence the search relates to. A grand jury is already looking into the possibility of improper handling of secret documents. This carries a three-year prison sentence. Legal risk is undoubtedly bad news for the former president, but don’t think for a second that this isn’t also a huge political opportunity that Donald Trump is eager to seize as he mulls a second presidential bid.

His comment is classic Trump, as can be seen from a quick glance

With classic, superlative-laden language of the outsider being hunted by a corrupt state, all the familiar buttons get pushed, including witch hunts, hoaxes, and political persecution. Senior Republicans have already threatened inquiries against the Justice Department in the event that they regain control of Congress in November’s mid-term elections. Buckle up, because the Trump show is back on the road.
