Trump Claims FBI Searched Barron Trump’s Bedroom, Prosecutors Say That’s Unlikely

Former President Donald Trump has said that the FBI searched his 16-year-old son Barron Trump‘s bedroom at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

He claimed that the search for classified documents extended to his wife, Melania‘s personal items and his teenage son Barron’s bedroom.

“They rifled through the first lady’s closet drawers, and everything else,” said Trump. “And even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son — leaving everything they touched in far different condition than it was when they started. Can you believe it?”

However, Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, told MSNBC that’s unlikely.

He questioned Trump’s claim, stating that FBI agents would search Barron’s room only if they are looking for records there.

“If Trump is storing boxes of classified documents or presidential records or other types of documents that could potentially be one or the other in the bedroom of Barron Trump then he should understand that that’s why the Justice Department is searching there,” said Mariotti.

Federal authorities found 184 classified and top-secret documents, several with Trump’s handwriting on them, in a previous Mar-a-Lago search.

It raised concerns about whether Trump has violated federal laws on presidential record-keeping and led to further investigation into his handling of sensitive materials.

Trump denied all alleged wrongdoing and complained he’s been unfairly treated.

“Everyone knows we’ve done nothing wrong. They are targeting me because they want to silence me, silence you and silence our amazing MAGA movement,” said Trump. “There’s never been a movement like this in the history of our country.”
