Former President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump alleged the White House directed the FBI raid on his father’s Mar-a-Lago property, a move he criticized as “Third-World antics.”

“This does not happen without presidential consent,” the younger Trump told Newsmax on Aug. 10. “The White House knew. Mark my word, they’re out there today saying that no one in the White House knew. This was a hundred percent, mark my word, directed by the White House.”
