BREAKING: Trump confirms the FBI has raided his residence at Mar-a-Lago

Former President Donald Trump confirmed in a statement on Monday that the FBI raided his residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” read the statement from the former president.

“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” the statement continued.

“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024,” he added, “especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections.”

He went on to say that the FBI broke into his safe and compared the raid of his home by the FBI to the burglary of Democrat offices by Republican operatives during the Watergate scandal.

“Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States,” Trump continued.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported that the former president was not at Mar-a-Lago during the raid but was at Trump Tower in New York City.

This is a developing story and has been updated with additional information.
