Former President Donald Trump announced a lawsuit Monday seeking an audit and return of the items taken from his Mar-a-Lago home in an FBI raid earlier this month.
“We have just filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida strongly asserting my rights, including under the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution, regarding the unnecessary, unwarranted, and unAmerican Break-In by dozens of FBI agents, and others, of my home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump wrote in a statement.
He specifically singled out alleged requests from FBI agents to turn off security cameras during the raid.
“They demanded that the security cameras be turned off, a request we rightfully denied,” Trump wrote. “They prevented my attorneys from observing what was being taken in the raid, saying ‘absolutely not.’ They took documents covered by attorney-client and executive privilege, which is not allowed. They took my passports. They even brought a ‘safe cracker’ and successfully broke into my personal safe, which revealed…nothing!
“We are now demanding that the Department of ‘Justice’ be instructed to immediately STOP the review of documents illegally seized from my home. ALL documents have been previously declassified.”
Trump wrote he and his team want a special master to be appointed with a goal “to oversee the handling of the materials taken in the raid.”
“We are further demanding that the DOJ be forced to turn over a REAL, without ‘plants,’ inventory of my property that was taken and disclose where that property is now located,” he wrote. “We are demanding that all items wrongfully taken from my home be IMMEDIATELY returned.”
He also took aim at Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the warrant that allowed FBI agents to raid Mar-a-Lago, the New York Post reported.

Right. Let’s see if the judge is a real judge or one of those planted Communists.
I have lost all faith in the so called “justice system” in this once great country.
Wont “beak” the FBI. It will just cause them to shift tactics.
Dear God,
Let it be so. Please bring the Deep State down. Good and hard.

My thoughts exactly.
He must be serious this time because he’s not sending out Rudy Giuliani.
“We are further demanding that the DOJ be forced to turn over a REAL, without ‘plants,’ inventory of my property that was taken and disclose where that property is now located,” he wrote.

Good luck with that. With the records held by the FBI, there is nothing to ensure they don’t taint the evidence by planting incriminating documents. I fully expect them to do so.
i want to hear why reinhart recused himself from the Trump/clinton lawsuit but not the warrant
If. We'll see what happens.
Good for President Trump. The man is a fighter.
Why didn't he turn them over before?
clear violation of the 4th Amendment period.
Trump appointee.
As I have said perhaps too often here. But a strong belief.
Trump appointee.
wrong
This may end up going to the Supreme Court. I’m not confident of an honest decision from them.
Our ENTIRE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT...Completely TOTALLY.

I would think he should be allowed access to his own stuff via the PRA of 1978 https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html
This is 10000x’s worse than the Nixon Watergate stuff the left LOVES to bring up. It seems we’ve all been conditioned to withhold our indignation. Worse than us, Congress should be demanding immediate resignations and the impeachment of Jao Xiden.
