Former U.S. President Says His Florida Home 'Raided' By FBI.

Former US President said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday and broke into his safe, possibly connected to a US Justice Department investigation of Trump's removal of official presidential records to the Florida resort.

The unprecedented search of Trump's home would mark a significant escalation into the investigation of the records, one of several probes Trump has faced since his time in office and in private business.

The Justice Department declined to comment on the raid that Trump, in a statement, said involved a "large group of FBI agents." The FBI's Washington headquarters and its Miami field office declined to comment.

New York Times reports that Trump brought boxes of documents from the White House to the Florida club.

Trump said the estate "is currently under siege, raided, and occupied." He did not say why the raid took place.

In a brief tele-rally for Connecticut Senator Leora Levy, whom Trump had endorsed for the Republican nomination, Trump did not mention the raid.

During the raid, reputed news channel reported that Trump was not at the estate, and the FBI had executed a search warrant to enter. Unnamed sources told CNN that the search was related to classified documents.
