Former President Trump said he “will do whatever” to “help the country” after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence last week, according to a Fox News exclusive.
Trump said that the “temperature has to be brought down” while explaining that the American people wont “stand for another scam.”
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump said he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to offer to help amid outrage over the FBI’s unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said.
“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” Trump said.
“There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country — at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” Trump said.
Earlier this week, Trump announced on his social media platform that during the FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago residence three of his passports were taken.
“Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” Trump said
“This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country! Third world!” he continued.
The FBI returned his passports shortly after he took to Truth Social to make the announcement.
