'The country is enraged': Conservatives slam FBI's Trump raid

Описание: Republicans have vented their fury after former US president Donald Trump said the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Donald Trump, who was not in Florida at the time of the raid, released a statement about the incident.

"These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Mr Trump wrote.
