Donald Trump is set to sue the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Justice for $100 million in damages over the agency's unprecedented 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump's lawyers have argued that it was done with the intent of "political persecution" in addition to Special Counsel Jack Smith's "lawless criminal indictment."
As Fox News reports, a document from the Trump camp states that the DOJ engaged in "tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump." Trump and his legal team intend to sue the DOJ for its conduct in the 2022 raid. This comes amid Trump's alleged improper retention of classified records case overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who the lawsuit said "brought a lawless criminal indictment" against Trump.
