Eric Trump: Personal Safe Breached by FBI in Mar-a-Lago Search Was Empty
https://www.ntd.com ^ | Aug 9, 2022 | Lorenz Duchamps

Eric Trump said a personal safe they claim was breached by a group of FBI agents in a raid on the former president’s Mar-a-Largo estate on Monday was empty.

“To have 30 FBI agents, actually more than that, descend on Mar-a-Largo, give absolutely no notice, go through the gate, start ransacking an office, ransacking a closet, you know—they broke into a safe. He didn’t even have anything in the safe,” the younger Trump told Fox News Sean Hannity on Monday.

Eric declared that the raid was conducted to see whether his father possessed any potential confidential documents from his time in office. He also said the breach was likely politically motivated because Democrats don’t want his father to run again for president in 2024.

“They started coming after him … the day he won [in] 2016,” Eric told the network, referencing Donald Trump becoming a politically motivated target.

“It’s gone on past politics,” the second son of the 45th U.S. president added. “Look at the attorney generals, … district attorney’s all over the country—all they want to do is, they want to get Donald Trump.”

“And they do it for one reason,” he noted. “Because they don’t want Donald Trump to run and win again in 2024.”

In the Monday interview, Eric said he was the one who informed his father in a call about the FBI’s unannounced search of the former president’s Mar-a-Largo estate.

Trump announced in a statement late on Aug. 8 that his Florida property was “under siege” and “occupied by a group of FBI agents,” calling it evidence of “prosecutorial misconduct” and a “weaponization of the Justice System.”

“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, adding that the feds “broke into my safe!”

Earlier this year, Trump returned 15 boxes of records kept at the Mar-a-Largo resort to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which it said contained materials marked as classified national security information. Federal agents reportedly searched for additional documents at the property on Monday.

Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, said on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that everyone “from my father-in-law’s team has been cooperating with the FBI, with any authority that asks for anything up until now,” noting that there was no need for an unannounced raid.

“My father-in-law, as anybody knows who’s been around him a lot, loves to save things like newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, photographs, documents that he had every authority … to take from the White House,” she told the show. “And again, he’s been cooperating every single step of the way.”

A White House official told The Epoch Times via email that it was not informed ahead of time of the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.

The Department of Justice, of which the FBI is a part, has not responded to a request for comment. The FBI has also declined to comment.

Wonder if the fed bois feel a little like Geraldo Rivera opening that safe door. Any bets that it was video’d and that video of 30 armed agents pointing their m4’s at the safe as it opened will never see the light of day?

I want to know more about how they “broke into his safe.” Did they have a team of men with blowtorches? Do they use a laser weapon that melts through steel? Or to they have a mechanism that finds the right combination rapidly? The raid took place last night. They have already broken into his safe.

How long does it take a team of men with blowtorches to get into a safe?

I think they have a way of getting into safes that we don’t know about.

What is next? seizing his smart phone?

after what happen with the FBI seizing attorney client documents from project veritas and the documents ending up in the hands of the news agency project veritas was suing I dont trust that this was anything but the FBI trying to get a hold of privileged information that Trump has with his attorney and any private document will be in the hands of trumps political rivals.

The FBI found lots of incriminating evidence in that safe.

In fact they found nearly twice as much as it could hold.

That raid was throwing a net to see if they could find anything. Whatever they find or “place” in the evidence collected has to be listed on the warrant.
They don’t issue warrants for finding stuff. But with these bastard communist/democRATS I don’t doubt anything they will try.

Yup—that is why you never want cops in your house—they could plant stuff anywhere and then come back later and “find” it—and you would have no way to prove it was not yours.

Is this the beginning of the end of the DOJ and the FBI? The track record of results for those who attack Trump seems like their is a divine hand both protecting him and disarming his attackers.
