Trump Claims FBI Raided Mar-a-Lago Looking for Clinton Emails
Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he believes the FBI and Department of Justice raided his Mar-a-Lago residence to look for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails.
During an interview with the Wendy Bell radio show, Trump spoke about the recent raid at his Florida residence and said, "I think they were looking for Hillary Clinton's emails."
Trump continued, "I think they thought, and who knows, boxes full of stuff... I think they thought... there was something to do with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. They were afraid that things were in there, part of their scam material because that's what they are, they're scammers."
The former president's comments come just a few days after the DOJ unsealed an image showing some of the documents that FBI agents recovered at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. On August 8, FBI agents raided the Mar-a-Lago estate and a redacted version of the affidavit that supported the FBI's raid revealed that the former president was in possession of several classified documents.
"There is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified NDI [National Defense Information] or that are Presidential records subject to record retention requirements currently remain at the PREMISES," the redacted affidavit said.
