President Donald Trump veered off topic during his Friday night speech on the economy to slam the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, which he said included agents raiding First Lady Melania Trump’s “panties” drawer.
As part of the government’s investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents after he left the White House in 2021, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 in search of sensitive records. Jack Smith, former special prosecutor charged with leading the Trump probe, told lawmakers this week in a closed-door interview that his team had gathered “powerful evidence” that the president had broken the law by holding onto the classified material.
