Youngkin criticizes FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
Gov Glenn Youngkin joined many Republican Party politicians blasting the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
“A stunning move by the DOJ and FBI,” the governor said in tweet from his personal Twitter account.
A stunning move by the DOJ and FBI.
This same DOJ labeled parents in Loudoun County as terrorists and failed to enforce federal law to protect Justices in their homes. Selective, politically motivated actions have no place in our democracy.

“This same DOJ labeled parents in Loudoun County as terrorists and failed to enforce federal law to protect Justices in their homes,” he said.
Youngkin referred to the controversy over a high school student who assaulted students in two different Loudoun schools, as well as the protests that followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The FBI search of Trump’s home, which the former president called a raid, was reportedly in search of information about classified records he may have kept, which, if true, could be in violation of federal records law.
