Former President Donald Trump has lashed out against the FBI for its conduct while searching his Mar-a-Lago home, offering his latest criticisms of the agency after its raid last month.
Upon returning to his Mar-a-Lago residence for the first time since the Aug. 8 raid, Trump recalled coming back to “check out the scene of yet another government ‘crime,’” the former president wrote in a post on Truth Social. Trump criticized the handling of the FBI’s search as he made the trip back to his residence on Sunday night, calling it a “Raid and Break-in of my home.”
TRUMP’S SPECIAL MASTER PICK FOR MAR-A-LAGO INVESTIGATION VIEWED AS FBI SKEPTIC: REPORT
“In any event, after what they have done, the place will never be the same,” Trump said. “It was ‘ransacked,’ and in far different condition than the way I left it. Many Agents – And they didn’t even take off their shoes in my bedroom. Nice!!!”
The former president has repeatedly criticized the FBI for its raid of his Mar-a-Lago home, previously calling the conduct a “deep and ugly search” done by “vicious monsters, controlled by radical-left scoundrels.”
The FBI seized more than 11,000 documents during its raid of the Mar-a-Lago residence, with several being considered the highest level of classification. The warranted search was part of an investigation by the Justice Department into whether Trump violated the Espionage Act by taking classified records after leaving the White House.

However, the department must put its investigation on hold while a third-party special master reviews the documents to ensure they do not violate any client-attorney or executive privileges. Raymond Dearie, the appointed special master, has until Nov. 30 to complete his review.
The FBI declined to comment on the matter.
