FBI Searches Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Mansion

MADRID, 9 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The FBI has entered this Monday to search the mansion of former US President Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to investigate the possible mishandling of classified documents.

"My beautiful Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida is currently besieged, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Trump said in a statement issued through his political action committee, Save America. .

A person familiar with the investigation consulted by 'The Washington Post' has assured that the agents would be carrying out a search authorized by a court in relation to the open case against the former president for taking classified documents to his residence after leaving the White House.

Trump has assured that the raid has been "without prior notice", and has affirmed that it was "neither necessary nor appropriate". Likewise, he has accused the Democratic Party of arming the "justice system" against him.

"Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home is neither necessary nor appropriate," he said in the letter.

The former US president has also stated that the FBI would have opened his safe and has compared the actions of the police officers with Watergate, although in the opposite direction: "Here, in reverse, the Democrats have broken into the house of the 45th president of the United States".

"Such an assault could only take place in Third World countries. Unfortunately, the United States has now become one of those countries, corrupt on a level never seen before," Trump added.

In January, the National Archives and Records Administration recovered after two months 15 boxes of documents and other items from the Mar-a-Lago residence that agency officials said should have been delivered when Trump left the White House.

The actions of the former president in relation to these files raised questions about whether he had violated the Presidential Records Act, which requires the preservation of memorandums, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to the official duties of a president, according to the aforementioned newspaper.
