There’s no letup in the political fallout from last week’s search of former president Trump’s home in Florida.
Republicans continue to blast the raid as a political witch hunt, with some even calling for the de-funding of the FBI, while Democrats insist even a former president has to follow the rule of law.
We don’t know yet whether the Justice Department is seriously considering a prosecution of former president Trump for obstructing justice, violating the Espionage Act and illegally taking classified documents, or whether the search was just its way of getting all those materials back after Trump refused to return them. Either way, the former president continues to attack the Biden administration and the raid, saying it’s an unprecedented political persecution and not a legitimate criminal investigation.
