President Donald Trump says Joe Biden knew about the raid on his Florida home.
Thirty FBI agents arrived at Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Largo residence with a search warrant to seize documents.
It was reported that the documents were part of an investigation that alleged the former president mishandled classified information.
This caused a lot of chatter among news agencies. CNN’s Dana Bash stated, “They were blindsided. They found out when we all did.”
“Given how buttoned up and cautious Attorney General Merrick Garland is, especially with something as sticky as this, it’s hard to imagine they gave the White House a heads-up,” she went on. Trump doesn’t believe this is true.
Trump said, “Biden knew all about this, just like he knew all about Hunter’s ‘deals.’”
In support of Trump’s view of the Hunter case, visitor logs have signatures of Hunter’s business partners signing in to see Vice-President Biden
at the White House.
Trump wasn’t alone in asserting this either, as former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon argued at least Biden’s chief of staff would have known.
“This had to go up to the White House to be approved. Absolutely. Anybody saying it didn’t is a liar,” said Will Cain. “This had to go up the chain of command, through Merrick Garland to Ron Klain, at least and FBi director Wray and these guys.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is contending, “No one at the White House was given a heads up.” “No. The president was not briefed, and he was not aware of it.”

Obviously, that’s the stance they have to take because if the alternative, as many suspect, is indeed true, then Trump’s earlier suggestion on Truth Social is equally so.
“A horrible thing that took place yesterday at Mar-a-Lago,” he wrote ahead of accusing Biden of being in the know beforehand. “We are no better than a third world country, a banana republic. It is a continuation of Russia, Russia, Russia, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, the no collusion Mueller Report, and more. To make matters worse it is all, in my opinion, a coordinated attack with Radical Left Democrat state & local D.A.’s & A.G.’s.”
Trump later went on to state, as he often has, that the attack on him was really an attack on the American people.

Our Country is paying a very big price!!!”
