Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed President Joe Biden knew about the FBI‘s raid of Mar-a-Lago in advance, something the White House has denied.
‘Biden knew all about this, just like he knew all about Hunter’s “deals,”‘ the ex-president posted to his Truth Social website.
Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings have attracted contoversy, though the president has denied being involved in them.
Trump also pushed that the Mar-a-Lago raid was a continuation of politically motivated investigations against him.
‘A horrible thing that took place yesterday at Mar-a-Lago,’ he wrote. ‘We are no better than a third world country, a banana republic.’
‘It is a continuation of Russia, Russia, Russia, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax # 2, the no collusion Mueller Report, and more,’ he continued.
‘To make matters worse it is all, in my opinion, a coordinated attack with Radical Left Democrat state & local D.A.’s & A.G.’s,’ the former president added.

The former president called the raid a ‘coordinated attack with Radical Left Democrat state & local D.A.’s & A.G.’s.’ Trump is facing legal problems in Georgia and New York over the scheme to turn over the 2020 election and real estate fraud, respectively
On Monday, Trump confirmed that FBI agents had raided Mar-a-Lago, after media reports said agents were spotted leaving the ex-president’s Florida home and private club.
Trump raged against the move, saying it represented ‘dark times for our Nation,’ pushing that the Biden administration was going after him as a political target.
Trump is mulling a 2024 presidential run.
A number of media outlets reported that the raid stemmed from an investigation into Trump removing classified documents from the White House and not the Department of Justice’s current probe into January 6, which is also partially focused on Trump.
The House select committee on January 6 is also investigating the January 6 Capitol attack and Trump’s action surrounding it.
The ex-president is also facing legal problems in Georgia in New York.
In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating the scheme to run over the state’s 2020 presidential election result.
And in New York, where Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, is looking into whether Trump’s companies misrepresented the value of properties for loan and tax purposes.

Additionally in New York, Letitia James, the New York state attorney general, is conducting a civil investigation into whether Trump’s company inflated real estate values.
In a campaign-style video Tuesday morning, Trump insisted that ‘we are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party, like never before.’
The White House, however, has insisted its hands are clean.
During Tuesday’s press briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden ‘was not briefed’ ahead of the Monday raid.
The president, she said, ‘was not aware of it.’
‘No one at the White House was given a heads up,’ Jean-Pierre said.
