It has the protentional to portray him as a victim of overzealous law enforcement. So in a certain sense the president was very eager to announce it and disclose it and he decried it as something you would expect from a third-world country."ASSOCIATED PRESSNew York, New York – 8 August 20227.

We're not aware of any actions in modern American history that involve the FBI conducting a search warrant at a property belonging to a former president. One thing that's really important to know about a search warrant is that what that suggests is that the FBI and the Justice Department believe that there is probable cause that a crime was committed and that a search of the particular residence or object will turn up fruits of that potential crime."VALIDATED UGC - MANDATORY ON-SCREEN CREDIT GAYLE MARTIN++USER GENERATED CONTENT: This video has been authenticated based on the following validation checks:++Video and audio checked against known locations and events by regional experts++Video is consistent with independent AP reporting++Video cleared for use by all AP clients by Gayle Martin++Mandatory on-screen credit to Gayle MartinPalm Beach, Florida - 8 August 202213.

Wide of former President Donald Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago at duskSTORYLINE: The FBI searched Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, people familiar with the matter said Monday, a move that represents a dramatic and unprecedented escalation of law enforcement scrutiny of the former president.Trump, disclosing the search in a lengthy statement, asserted that agents had opened up a safe at his home and described their work as an “unannounced raid” that he likened to “prosecutorial misconduct.” The search intensifies the months-long probe into how classified documents ended up in boxes of White House records located at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year. It occurs amid a separate grand jury investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and adds to the potential legal peril for Trump as he lays the groundwork for another run.Familiar battle lines, forged during a a four-year presidency shadowed by FBI and congressional investigations, quickly took shape again Monday night. Trump and his allies sought to cast the search as a weaponization of the criminal justice system and a Democratic-driven effort to keep him from winning another term in 2024 - even though the Biden White House said it had no prior knowledge of it, and the current FBI director, Christopher Wray, was appointed by Trump five years ago and served as a high-ranking official in a Republican-led Justice Department.“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 wrote. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in his statement.Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including about whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized it."I think it's clear that among the factors that the Justice Department will be looking to evaluate is what sort of information was located, how classified was it, what did Donald Trump know about what was there, and did the information carry the potential harm the nation security of the United States if exposed," said Eric Tucker of the Associated Press.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
