Former President Donald Trump accused the FBI and Department of Justice of engaging in political interference ahead of the 2022 midterm elections and possibly even the 2024 presidential contest.

In a statement released Saturday night on Truth Social, the former president wrote that the Aug. 8 raid of his Mar-a-Lago property was “done for political purposes just prior to the Midterm Elections (and 2024, of course!). It is a disgrace to our now Third World Nation!”
