Ron DeSantis Slams Mar-a-Lago Raid: Feds Weaponized Against ‘Regime’s Political Opponents’ While Hunter Biden ‘Treated with Kid Gloves’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sounded off on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) reported execution of a search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

“The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves,” DeSantis tweeted. “Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.”

On Monday, Trump announced that FBI was conducting a search of his private home at Mar-a-Lago and that the raid was “unannounced.”

“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,” Trump said in a lengthy statement. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”

“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, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections,”...Read more and see tweet here.

Trump confirms FBI ‘raided and occupied’ his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago

The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and broke into a safe in his palatial home, the former president confirmed Monday.

Trump said in a message on his social media forum Truth Social that his home had been “raided, and occupied” and was “currently under siege.”

FBI agents were reportedly searching for classified documents that Trump allegedly brought with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency ended — which, if true, could be a violation of federal law. 

The National Archives and Records Administration said it had found classified material in 15 boxes at the residence earlier this year and alerted the FBI. The agents executed a search warrant Monday to look for additional presidential records Trump may have relocated to his Florida estate.

“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Read more and see video here.
