Trump issued a statement that his home in Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach was "under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents." He described it as a "weaponization of the justice system and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for president in 2024."
CNN reported that agents were looking for presidential and classified documents that Trump may have taken after he left office.
Candidate Tim Baxter, also a state representative, said he would abolish the FBI.
"We must purge the corrupt swamp, annihilate the deep state, dismantle the bureaucracy and investigate Hunter Biden," Baxter said on his campaign Twitter account.
