Last night, around 6 pm ET, we were one of the first to report about the FBI raid of President Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.
I spoke with Trump attorney Christina Bobb several hours after the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Bobb confirmed that she was present at Mar-a-Lago when the raid occurred.
The Save America attorney told us, “President Trump and his legal team have been cooperative with FBI and DOJ officials every step of the way.” She also confirmed that the “FBI did conduct an unannounced raid and seized paper” from President Trump’s Florida residence. According to Bobb, there were “no arrests.”
A very heated Eric Trump appeared on Fox News, where he gave even more details about what took place during the raid on his father’s home while the former President of the United States was in the New York area. During his interview, Eric pointed out, “There is no family in American history that has taken more arrows in the back than the Trump family.”
Here’s a clip from Eric Trump’s interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity last night, where he explained that his father “never got so much as a speeding ticket” before he announced his bid to run for President in 2015:
"My father never got so much as a speeding ticket in his life until he made one decision:
To go down the escalator…and go actually fight for this country…" @EricTrump pic.twitter.com/79BJwqYAkT

News Nation reporter Brian Entin was able to shed some light on details about the FBI raid.
Here’s what he had to say:
Per sources: search warrant at Mar-a-Lago was related to retention of classified docs. FBI showed up at 9am and left at 6:30pm. They were in plain clothes — so club staff likely thought they were secret service. That is why it didn’t leak earlier.
FBI did not notify secret service about raid until right before. 3 Trump lawyers showed up during the raid. Safe referred to in Trump statement was in his office which is the old bridal suite above the ballroom. It is a hotel style safe. FBI broke it open.
