President Trump has just released a statement saying the FBI is currently raiding his home at Mar-A-Lago.
He says it “is currently under seige, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents”:

Trump says it is entirely inappropriate, calls it “prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of th eJustice Sytem, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats” who don’t him to run in 2024. And he’s not wrong.
He also laments that “such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries” and notes that America has become one of those countries now. Clearly.
What has Trump done to deserve such persecution? Absolutely nothing. He’s been persecuted by Democrats controlling the FBI and DOJ since he announced he was running. He’s not even in office anymore and they are still trying to destroy him.
And you well know that this fishing expedition was authorized by the FBI Director himself. Ain’t no way this could have happened without Wray’s approval.
I don’t recognize this country anymore and sadly, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get fixed. Trump was in office four years and nothing has changed that the FBI and DOJ. Nothing.
UPDATE: Here’s Dan Bongino reacting to the news:

UPDATE: Brian Kilmeade says nothing was in the safe and 30 FBI agents raided the home for the ‘National Archives’. So it wasn’t the Jan. 6th Committee:
JUST spoke to @erictrump, nothing in the safe, FBI agents 30 approx raided on behalf of nation archives …This is outrageous- has to have come from @POTUS and/or someone in White House.
