Trump: Mar-a-Lago 'raided' by FBI Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky appeared on “Banfield” to discuss Monday’s search of Mar-a-Lago, an action he calls seismic. He says in order to satisfy the requirements under the Fourth Amendment, investigators would have to establish believe that a crime took place and that there would be evidence of a crime at Mar-a-Lago. “I don’t think a judge would have ever signed off on this if the Department of Justice, the attorneys involved, and the FBI agents involved, didn’t tell the judge specifically that they believe they can actually prosecute the crime. Otherwise, it’s not a crime at all,” Cherkasky said. Regardless, Cherkasky believes Monday’s search sends a message of intention from the FBI.
