Former President Donald Trump mocked claims that the White House has no advance notice or knowledge of the FBI raid on his Mar-A-Lago home.
Trump asserts that “Biden knew” about the “coordinated attack.”
President Trump’s home was searched by 30 federal agents in what many are calling abuse of power by the FBI.
The White House initially responded to the raid and claimed they had no advance knowledge.
Trump himself has remained on the offensive and is accusing the Biden administration of actually conspiring with the FBI to plan the raid.
“A horrible thing that took place yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. We are no better than a third world country, a banana republic,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“It is a continuation of Russia, Russia, Russia, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax # 2, the no collusion Mueller Report, and more. To make matters worse it is all, in my opinion, a coordinated attack with Radical Left Democrat state & local D.A.’s & A.G.’s.”
He also added that “Biden knew all about this, just like he knew all about Hunter’s “deals.”
A report claims that a “disloyal aide” planted documents that were then later used by the FBI to frame Trump.
“They [the FBI] won’t come out empty-handed,” said the anonymous source.
As if Trump were stupid enough to do what they said he did. The only thing that could have happened is that a disloyal aid planted it in a box that was moved out in January of 2021,” he added. noting, “They wouldn’t have gone in without expecting a result.”
Yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said that he personally approved the decision for the FBI to raid Trump’s estate.
“Since I became attorney general, I have made clear that the Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work just now,” Garland said. “The Justice Department has filed a motion in the southern district of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premises located in Florida belonging to the former president.”
Garland also addressed “recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors.”
“I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked,” he said. “The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. Every day they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves.”
Trump responded on Truth Social after Garland spoke.
He said, “The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it,” Trump wrote. “They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE!”
“Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even ‘safecrackers,'” Trump continued. “They got way ahead of themselves.”
Fox News reported that Trump’s office received a grand jury subpoena this spring for classified documents he allegedly took. A source close to Trump told them that Trump was cooperating and was turning the documents over to the FBI.
