On August 14, local time, White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre emphasized in an interview that the White House was unaware of the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Nor is it aware of the ongoing investigation by the Justice Department.
According to US media reports, multiple investigations by the US Department of Justice currently involve Trump.
Jean-Pierre repeatedly declined to comment on the federal investigation against Trump in an interview on the 14th.
On the 8th of this month, FBI personnel raided Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, the first time in U.S. history that a former president’s residence was raided due to a criminal investigation.
Trump said on the 9th that Biden was aware of the "raid and search" of his Mar-a-Lago estate by the FBI.
