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 United States 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 United States 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
