Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), an ally of President Donald Trump, says the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized his cellphone a day after it executed a search warrant at Trump’s resort in Mar-a-Lago, Palm Breach.

“This morning, while traveling with my family, three FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone,” reads a statement from Perry’s office. “They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish.”
