The FBI on Monday executed a search warrant on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
“My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said in a statement first sent to CNN.However, the Department of Justice recently acknowledged it had launched an investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to Jan. 6.The outlets noted that prosecutors had asked witnesses before a grand jury about conversations with Trump.
The Department of Justice, a Trump spokesperson, and a lawyer for Meadows did not respond to requests for comment. The former President declared the election as fraudulent “right out of the box on election night before there was any potential of looking at the evidence,” former U.S. Attorney William Barr said in a taped deposition played by Committee members in June.
