It’s unclear if FBI agents thought former President Trump stored classified documents in Melania Trump’s wardrobe. They found no whiff of documents there but did not mention justification for pawing through her unmentionables.
“She felt very violated,” Trump informed Newsmax in a telephone interview. “I mean, this is a terrible thing. They go into her closet, they go through her dresses, and who knows what else, and it wasn’t left the way they found it.”
The Epoch Times further reported:
Trump added, “I didn’t walk into mine and say, ‘Oh, this is exactly so nice, the way they put it back.’”
The former president, who was in New York City when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, recently returned to his Florida residence. After his return, he took to his Truth Social platform to say that the residence “was ransacked” and the FBI agents “didn’t even take off their shoes in my bedroom.”
“I think it’s a disgrace that a thing like this could happen,” Trump told Newsmax.
Days after the FBI raid, Trump criticized the FBI agents for having “rummaged” through Melania’s “clothing and personal items” during their search of the Florida residence. Earlier in September, Trump also disclosed how the FBI had also searched his 16-year-old son Barron’s room.
The Aug. 8 raid ended with FBI agents seizing a total of 11,179 documents and other materials that weren’t marked classified, along with 103 documents marked classified, including some marked as top secret, according to an inventory released earlier this month.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. There was nothing done wrong,” Trump continued. “You take a look at the Presidential Records Act. That’s what you have to go by, I guess. I mean, that’s what I’m told.”
Trump reiterated his claim that the raid was politically motivated.
“They’re trying to make such a big deal because what they want to do is politicize everything,” Trump said.
