Donald Trump said Monday that federal investigators were raiding his Florida residence, a move that comes as prosecutors are escalating their focus on the former president’s conduct.
It was not immediately clear why agents were searching his property. The Justice Department declined to comment on Trump’s statement.
“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 Monday. He did not indicate what they were seeking. “They even broke into my safe!”

Trump was at Trump Tower in New York City, said a person familiar with his whereabouts, at the time of the FBI action. Trump spends summers at his Bedminster golf resort in New Jersey.
A White House official said it had no notice of the action and referred questions about the raid to the Justice Department. The House committee investigating the January 6 riot also declined to comment.
Trump complained that he was being mistreated by “Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for president in 2024.”
The search, if confirmed, will fuel the speculation that the Justice Department’s investigation into the fatal Jan. 6 riot, carried out by a mob of Trump supporters, is leading toward Trump himself.
