Former president Donald Trump kicked off his week with raging tweet, blasting the FBI and complaining that President Joe Biden’s home has never been raided by law enforcement.
“So they riffled through the living quarters of my 16 year old son, Barron, and the loved and respected former First Lady of the United States, Melania,” Trump ranted Monday morning on his social media platform. “But, despite proven high crimes and treason, and just plain common theft, all pointed out in the Laptop from Hell (and elsewhere), they never Raided or Broke Into the house of Hunter Biden or, perhaps even more importantly, the house of Joe Biden – A treasure trove! This is a Country that’s unfair and broken. We are truly a Nation in Decline!!!”
Trump has been on a rage binge after the FBI executed a search for classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. It also comes after US president condemned Trump and his supporters for undermining American democracy.
On Saturday, he called Biden an “enemy of the state.” On Sunday, the former president railed against the FBI, claiming that he “did nothing wrong” and was being wrongly targeted.
“So much talk, back and forth, including from my many patriotic ‘defenders & supporters,’ about our Federal Government working every seldom (or never used) rule and regulation in order to get and destroy, at any cost, President Donald J. Trump,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Same concepts, anger, and Radical Left maniacs and RINOs who have been working the system of Hoaxes and Scams ever since I came down the ‘golden escalator’ in Trump Tower seven years ago. They also have the same problem, however – I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!”
A federal judge last week released a detailed list of what was seized at Trump’s home.
The list shows Trump held on to more than 11,000 unclassified government records that he claims are his to keep — but legally are owned by the National Archives.
During the raid, agents seized 18 documents labelled “top secret”, 53 labelled “secret” and another 31 marked “confidential.” They also found 48 empty folders labelled “classified” in the office, raising speculation that sensitive documents may have been moved.
