(The Guardian) Trump to sue DoJ for $100m over Mar-a-Lago raid – report
Donald Trump plans to sue the US justice department for $100m for executing a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago estate to retrieve classified government documents, according to a report.
The former president’s lawyers intend to sue the department for its conduct during the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago on 8 August 2022, amid the federal investigation into his alleged retention of classified records, Fox News reported on Monday.
Trump’s legal team will argue that the DoJ was engaged in a “clear intent to engage in political persecution” when it searched his property, the report says. It quotes Trump attorney Daniel Epstein as saying: What President Trump is doing here is not just standing up for himself – he is standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and believe that you should hold the government accountable when it wrongs you.
