Not really.
This is in relation to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) investigation in to records took from White House when Trump left office.
From Sky News:
Quote:
In a lengthy statement published online, the former president said his home was "under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents".
He wasn't there at the time, but was notified by his son, Eric Trump, who told Fox News the search warrant concerned a box of documents taken from the White House and that his father had been cooperating with the NARA over the matter for months.
This was echoed by Mr Trump himself, who said he had been "working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies".
As a result, he described the search as "not necessary or appropriate", "prosecutorial misconduct", the "weaponisation of the justice system" and "an attack by radical Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for president in 2024".
