Former President Donald Trump accused the FBI and Department of Justice of engaging in political interference ahead of the 2022 midterm elections and possibly even the 2024 presidential contest.
In a statement released Saturday night on Truth Social, the former president wrote that the Aug. 8 raid of his Mar-a-Lago property was “done for political purposes just prior to the Midterm Elections (and 2024, of course!). It is a disgrace to our now Third World Nation!”
“The Raid on my home, Mar-a-Lago, is one of the most egregious assaults on democracy in the history of our Country which is, by the way, going to places, in a very bad way,” Trump also wrote Saturday.
The posts were made in the context of a federal judge in Florida being assigned to Trump’s recent legal complaint that seeks to have a special master appointed to review documents and materials that were taken by FBI agents during the raid.
