Former President Donald Trump published a message on Wednesday in which he implied that the FBI may have planted evidence against him during the raid of his Mar-a-Lago home. He detailed that the agents asked to turn off the security cameras at the residence.
The Republican also assured that his lawyers were not allowed to be present during the raid. He highlighted that the closet of his wife, Melania Trump, was ‘ransacked.’ “The FBI and others from the Federal Government would not let anyone, including my lawyers, be anywhere near the areas that were rummaged and otherwise looked at during the raid on Mar-a-Lago,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Two of the former president’s lawyers had already stated that they were not sure that the FBI did not plant evidence during the search. Christina Bobb and Alina Habba regretted that the procedure was carried out in such a way and said it was unfortunate for the country.

The raid in Trump’s home
On Monday, news broke that the FBI raided the former Republican president’s home in the Mar-a-Lago resort, 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 that went viral on social media.
According to the Daily Mail, “FBI agents were inside the 128-room Florida estate for nine hours on Monday, with 30 agents roaming through the entire 3,000-square-foot private quarters. The investigators searched the master bedroom, known as the Versailles Room, which Melania Trump renovated two years ago”.
