Former White House Press Secretary and current cohost of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” Kayleigh McEnany, ripped the FBI’s hours-long raid of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday.
“The agents were apparently there from 9 a.m. to 6:30,” she stated, “…that is nine and a half hours as they’re scouring through Melania’s closet, and breaking open safes – apparently, the attorneys were not just not allowed in, they were told to turn off security cameras, which they did not do. Good move.”
McEnany continued, “…Apparently, the DOJ lawyers, according to Trump representatives, were very rude, and they kept saying over and over again, ‘We have full access to everything, we can go anywhere.’ It feels like the full power of the federal government raining down on a political enemy.”
The FBI’s move to invade President Trump’s private residence has sent shockwaves across the nation, especially amid the secrecy surrounding the raid. On Wednesday, Eric Trump ripped the FBI for kicking lawyers off the property and refusing to show Trump attorney Christina Bobb the search warrant for the operation.
President Trump called the raid a “weaponization of the Justice System” and an “attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections.”
“The details of the unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home continue to get worse…” McEnany commented on Twitter, along with a clip of her comments on “Outnumbered.”
She added, “A NINE AND A HALF HOUR search of someone’s home who happens to be a political opponent of President Biden!”
On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he approved the warrant and filed a motion to unseal it.
