President Donald J. Trump revealed how one major FBI scheme was swatted during the Mar-a-Lago raid of his Florida home recently and hinted that the family has evidence of wrongdoing by the FBI during their time in the home.
“In the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, the FBI demanded that all security cameras be turned off. What is that all about? We said no!” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, alerting the FBI that they had been recorded and that the recording was his private property.
Christina Bobb, the Trump attorney who has made the media rounds this month talking about the raid, revealed bombastic details about the FBI actions that day.
Bobb, who was on the scene when the FBI raid happened, told the media that the cameras were not turned off at Mar-a-Lago despite multiple requests from FBI agents.
“Trump and his family, who were in their Trump Tower residence at the time of the raid, could watch what was taking place,” Martin Walsh reported about Bobb’s recent appearances for Conservative Brief.
“I think the folks in New York — President Trump and his family — probably had a better view than I did because they had the CCTV, but they were able to watch. I was stuck in the parking lot there to collect paper and answer questions,” Bobb said.
“But they were actually able to see the whole thing, so they actually have a better idea of what took place inside,” she said.
“So initially, [the agents] said you need to turn off all the cameras, and then, of course, the staff complied,” she added.
“Then the lawyers jumped in and said, you actually don’t have to turn them off. So shortly after they turn them back on. So the cameras were only off for a very short period of time,” Bobb said during an interview with Real Americas Voice.

“Eric Trump said he encountered people who are furious about the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago and has some information that the family is going to share.
Appearing on Fox News, Eric Trump told host Sean Hannity that they ignored the FBI’s request to take off the surveillance cameras and that they have video of the search,” Walsh reported.
“Will you — you still have the surveillance tape, is that correct? Will you — are you allowed to share that with the country?” the host said.
“Absolutely, Sean. At the right time,” the son of the 45th President of the United States said.
“That’s why cops wear body cams. They don’t tell you to turn off cameras. They want transparency. And that’s not what happened here,” he said.
“And you know for a fact they asked for the cameras to be turned off,” the host said.
“They asked for the cameras to be turned off,” Eric said.
He said after the raid that “my father’s poll numbers have absolutely gone through the roof.”

The previous night on the show he said that people “were trying to buy [wife] Lara and I dinner to apologize for what the United States government has done to our family, Sean.”
“I mean, you wouldn’t believe the energy out there,” the former President’s son said. “I’ve been through all these firestorms over the years. I’ve never seen America madder than it is right now. People are not buying the sham in the country.”
“They’re targeting Donald Trump. They’re targeting his family. They’re targeting everyone around him,” he said.
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” he said to Fox News.
“There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country — at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” he said.
“People are so angry at what is taking place,” he said. “Whatever we can do to help — because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen.”
And if the poll numbers went through the roof before, after seeing the FBI raiding the personal home of the wildly popular former President and his family, his popularity may be galvanized for good- and will likely have a fiery reaction from the American public.
