TRUMP SAYS FBI ‘RAIDED’ MAR-A-LAGO
That’s what happens when you break the law, try to steal an election, and incite a deadly insurrection.

“Donald Trump should be in jail. I’m glad to see the FBI taking steps towards accountability,” Jayapal said.
Jayapal has blamed Trump’s rhetoric for increased political violence, including an incident in which a man with a gun was arrested outside her home in Seattle, Washington, last month.
The FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, which was announced by Trump, is reportedly related to presidential materials requested by the National Archives, including the handling of classified documents.

“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 statement.
