White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has disputed the rhetoric put out by Republicans that the FBI raid at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence was politically motivated.

In comments aimed at Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who called the search “a complete abuse and overreach of its authority,” Jean-Pierre told ABC News’ “This Week” co-host Jonathan Karl on Aug. 14, “This is not about politicizing anything.”
