Donald Trump said on Monday that he "will do whatever he can" to help the country after his Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by the FBI last week. In an interview with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-he-will-do-whatever-he-can-to-help-the-country-after-fbi-raid">Fox News</a>, the former US President referred to the unprecedented raid as another "scam" that the American people are "not going to stand for," before adding that the "temperature has to be brought down." "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," Trump stated, before continuing: "If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that." The FBI search, which took place on August 8, was executed in relation to an investigation into the 45th President's handling of presidential documents, <a href="https://vt.co/news/donald-trump-says-fbi-raided-his-mar-a-lago-florida-home">VT</a> previously reported. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1559233491132465152]] Officials had reason to believe Trump was in violation of several federal laws, including laws that govern the "concealment, removal or mutilation" and "destruction, alteration or falsification" of records in federal investigations. According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/15/trump-vows-hell-help-us-after-sneak-attack-fbi-raid/">New York Post</a>, Federal agents conducting the search seized 11 sets of classified documents and over 20 boxes of items. Pursuant to an inventory list that was recently unsealed by a federal judge, the seized documents fell under several different classification categories - ranging from 'Top Secret,' the highest level of classification, and 'Secret,' the second-highest level, to 'Confidential,' the lowest classification level. Documents in a fourth category were marked with 'Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information,' which would mean they contain the USA's most important secrets, per the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/15/trump-vows-hell-help-us-after-sneak-attack-fbi-raid/">New York Post</a>. Trump and his legal team have disputed this, alleging that the information and records were declassified. <img class="wp-image-1263164489 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/08/Trump-2016.jpg" alt="" width="1535" height="800" />[[imagecaption|| Donald Trump referred to last week's FBI raid as another "scam" that the American people are "not going to stand for."

However, it is this staunch objection to the search - which Trump has now labelled a "sneak attack" - that has given rise to an apparent sharp increase in threatened violence against law enforcement officials, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/15/trump-vows-hell-help-us-after-sneak-attack-fbi-raid/">New York Post</a> details. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI released a joint bulletin this week to law enforcement agencies, warning of threats against law enforcement, the judiciary, and government staff. "The FBI and DHS have identified multiple articulated threats and calls for the targeted killing of judicial law enforcement and government officials associated with the Palm Beach search, including the Federal judge who approved the Palm Beach search warrant," the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-he-will-do-whatever-he-can-to-help-the-country-after-fbi-raid">bulletin</a> read. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-bulletin-warns-dirty-bomb-threat-increasing-calls-civil-war-after-raid-mar-a-lago">FOX News</a> revealed that the bulletin also highlighted an alleged threat to place a "dirty bomb" in front of the FBI's headquarters. <h6>Featured image credit: The Photo Access / Alamy</h6>
