Kansas Senator roger Marshal says his phone ‘blew up’ with questions from constituents shortly after news broke about an FBI raid at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Estate. The FBI search of his home is reportedly part of an investigation into whether Trump took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. Trump issued a statement saying agents opened a safe at his home and likened the raid to “prosecutorial misconduct”. Senator Marshall, whose dad was a police officer, says he grew up with a great deal of respect for the FBI, but that view is changing. He says the FBI were the ‘good guys’, but right now, many people are concerned who the FBI really is. He says his constituents are very concerned about what the Federal Government has become.
Trump and his allies are casting the unprecedented raid on a Presidential home as the weaponization of the Criminal Justice System and a Democratic-driven effort to keep him from winning another term in 2024. The Biden Administration says it had no prior knowledge of the raid. Kansas Democratic Congresswoman, Sharice Davids, says much is still unknown about the raid, but noted “no one is above the law”.
