In Her Book

In her book, @MELANIATRUMP described the text she received at 9:10am on August 8, 2022 from her house manager about the FBI raid. Mrs. Trump was in NYC for an appointment that day:

“The FBI is outside the house,” she wrote. “They are saying we need to leave. The Secret Service…

… is checking the situation. I don’t understand what is happening.”

That text appears to contradict FBI claims the Secret Service was notified before agents arrived.

Mrs. Trump at first worried about a threat to the property or staff not realizing until she spoke with her husband moments later their home was the target of an FBI raid

“Rather than protecting us, the FBI’s actions represented a politically motivated intrusion linked to my husband’s personal presidential documents. Watching the helicopter footage of agents surrounding our home from New York, I felt a profound sense of personal violation.”

“I was fully aware of the lengths to which my husband’s political adversaries might go, but this development was an unprecedented low.”

She returned home days later to see what agents had done to her residence. (She instructed staff to leave everything as is.)

“I maintain my home with meticulous organization, so what greeted me when I walked in was both shocking and deeply upsetting. My belongings—clothes, documents, personal files, and medical records—had been rummaged through, leaving me with a profound sense of violation. The anger I felt was compounded by the realization that strangers had invaded my personal space and sifted through my possessions. I could not be certain whether they had taken any of my belongings.”
