Trump to Sue DOJ for $100 Million

News summary

Former President Donald Trump plans to sue the Department of Justice for $100 million over the FBI's August 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate, alleging it amounted to unconstitutional 'political persecution' and damaged his reputation. Trump's legal team, led by attorney Daniel Epstein, claims the search was conducted without following established protocols and aimed to interfere with his 2024 presidential campaign. The raid, which recovered numerous classified documents, led to an indictment against Trump that was later dismissed by a Trump-appointed judge due to the improper appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump argues the FBI's actions constituted 'intrusion upon seclusion,' 'malicious prosecution,' and 'abuse of process.' The Justice Department has 180 days to respond to the claim before it may proceed to court.
