FLORIDA, Aug 9 ― Former President Donald Trump said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate yesterday and broke into his safe in what his son acknowledged was part of an investigation into Trump's removal of official presidential records from the White House to his Florida resort.
A source familiar with the matter also confirmed to Reuters the raid appeared to be tied to Trump's removal of classified records from the White House. A federal law called the US Presidential Records Act requires the preservation of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to a president's official duties.
“Make no mistake, the attorney general had to authorize this,” said Phillip Halpern, a former federal prosecutor who specialized in public corruption cases, adding that Wray and a host of prosecutors would also be involved. Trump previously confirmed that he had agreed to return certain records to the Archives, calling it “an ordinary and routine process.” He also claimed the Archives “did not 'find' anything.”
