3:02 pm
the search. police remain at the scene to secure the property. trump referred to is florida represents -- is florida residents as the winter white house because he stayed there often. the former president is alleged to have illegally removed classified documents from the white house. trump was in new york during the latest search but protested online. >> these are dk times for our tion as beautiful home in palm beach, florida is currently under siege, rated and occupied by a large group of fbi agent. nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the united states before. trump was often criticized for mishandling sensitive government documents. u.s. media are broadcasting images that claim to show notes. he tried to flush down the toilet. under u.s. law, he should have
3:03 pm
handed them over to the national park -- national are. -- national archives. >> this does exceptionally grave damage to national security. >> protesters think the rate is part of a conspiracy to prevent trump from running for reelection. >> what prompted the fbi to carry out this unprecedented rate on former president trump -- read -- raid on former president trump's home? >> we believe the search warrant was sought in order to find documents that the former president pilfered from the white house back when he departed in january of 2021. apparently he returned about 15

3:05 pm
has used them or distribute of them in an unlawful way. perhaps this part is speculation that they fear that he is going to sell or share them or give them to somebody or give access to somebody to this top-secret document and that would be an imminent crime or an ongoing crime they might be concerned about. >> we know they are several investigations -- there are several investigations into donald trump's time. but is it possible to say that he is perhaps closer to being charged with a crime that he has been before? >> absolutely you could say that. given that merrick garland has been exceedingly careful and cautious and is know to cross every t and dot every i, it is having unlikely that this would
3:06 pm
be the first step into a criminal investigation and as for the other investigation grand juries are looking at, it is possible the particular search could really reveal evidence if there is a lawful search such as this one pursuant to an approved search warrant, there is this notion of something called the plane sacral. if they happen to come across documents, they are authorized to search other evidence pertaining to these other investigations that could lead us farther toward criminal consequences as well. >> what you make of donald trump's accusations? we heard republican members of congress -- from republican members of congress that what we are seeing is a plot by democrats to prevent donald trump from running for president
