INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Former US president Donald Trump said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday 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.The
unprecedented search of a former president&s home would mark a significant escalation into the records investigation, which is one of
several probes Trump is facing from his time in office and in private business. The U.S
Justice Department declined to comment on the search, which Trump in a statement called a raid and said involved a &large group of FBI
agents.& The FBI&s headquarters in Washington and its field office in Miami both declined comment, Reuters reported.Eric Trump, one of the
former president&s adult children, told Fox News the search concerned boxes of documents that Trump brought with him from the White House,
and that his father has been cooperating with the National Archives on the matter for months.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.&After working and
cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,& Trump said, adding:
&They even broke into my safe!&Trump was not present at the time as he was in New York on Monday, Fox News Digital reported, publishing a
photo of Trump that a Fox reporter said showed him leaving Trump Tower.Trump, who has made his club in Palm Beach his home since leaving the
White House in January 2021, has generally spent summers at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, because Mar-a-Lago typically closes for
the summer.A federal law called the U.S
Presidential Records Act requires the preservation of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to a
president&s official duties.The post FBI searches Trump&s Florida home as part of presidential records probe first appeared on Ariana News.
