Trump pulled no punches when talking about the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in August and the coinciding Justice Department investigation into his handling of classified documents.

He began by pointing out how “they lied to the FISA court. They lied to Congress. They illegally broke into, in my opinion, illegally broke into my home in Florida in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Can you imagine that?”

He also accused “dozens and dozens of armed FBI agents” of “violating the Presidential Records Act and so much more.”

Those agents “violated,” he said, “very simply, the Presidential Records Act.

Offering a new excuse, he claimed that prior US heads of state had also mishandled documents but faced no legal ramifications from DoJ.

“You have to see, Bush had a warehouse, Bush Sr. had a warehouse. Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails, many of which were classified. Hillary Clinton [and] Bill Clinton lost a lot of stuff. Obama- didn’t they say 33 million pages of stuff? God where is it? What happened?”

Despite the scores of investigations into himself, his handling of his 2020 election loss, and his businesses, Trump argued the probes were a net positive for his political fate.

“Yet with all of the persecution and prosecution that we’ve gone through, I say we, all of us together we are leading everyone in the polls by a lot more than ever before.”
