Trump Critics Demand People Stop Using One Word to Describe FBI Search of Mar-A-Lago
Donald Trump’s critics are demanding that people stop referring to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) search of his home in Mar-a-Lago as a “raid.”
The FBI searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence Monday, and many in the media have speculated that the search was related to an FBI investigation of his possible mishandling of White House documents, some of which ended up in the Florida residence. Trump described the search as a raid in his Monday evening statement, but his critics are now insisting that the term shouldn’t be used since the federal agents entering his home had a warrant.
We don't know yet what crimes the FBI had sufficient evidence of to convince a federal judge there was probable cause to search Trump's residence, but the execution of a search warrant isn't a raid. It's a judicially overseen process. Still unknown: the subject of the search.

It’s a “search,” not a “raid.” 👇🏽 https://t.co/TqXH3nX5Tc

A court-authorized search is not a raid.

To be clear, a lawful execution of a search warrant is NOT A RAID. TFG is not a victim.

What the Rep. probably doesn’t want you to know is that the FBI search warrant has to undergo a lot of steps – including a federal judge – to be signed off on.
So it’s not a “raid” or “siege” like Trump implies. https://t.co/CwdxU4l7qB
