Aug 12, 2024, 12:33 PM

Former President Donald Trump is set to sue the U.S. Department of Justice for $100 million, following the 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence. Trump's legal team claims the raid was politically motivated, alleging it violated his privacy and due process rights, and constituted 'tortious conduct' by the government. The lawsuit also accuses the DOJ of engaging in 'political persecution.' The legal action comes after a related case against Trump was dismissed.
