NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump intends to sue the Justice Department for $100 million in damages following the 2022 FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Federal officials searched the estate for classified documents connected to the now-dismissed federal case against Trump, which is under appeal.
In a legal memo obtained by NewsNation, Trump’s legal team claims “tortious conduct by the United States” saying the federal effort was “political persecution” and “unconstitutional.”
