Trump says FBI agents 'raided' his Mar-a-Lago Florida home

Ex-US President Donald Trump has said his Florida home was "raided" by the FBI, and that agents broke open a safe.

Mr Trump said in a statement that Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach was "occupied by a large group of FBI agents".

The search was reportedly connected to an investigation into Mr Trump's handling of official papers.

US media reports that the search is related to documents which the president may have taken to Mar-a-Lago on leaving the White House.

Mr Trump's lawyer, Christina Bobb, told NBC News that some papers had been seized during the search. read more
