News summary

Former President Donald Trump is planning to sue the Justice Department and the FBI for $115 million, alleging 'malicious political prosecution' related to the 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump's attorney, Daniel Z. Epstein, claims that the search, which uncovered numerous classified documents, was unconstitutional and aimed at damaging Trump's presidential campaign. The lawsuit seeks $15 million for legal costs and $100 million in punitive damages, arguing that the raid was 'oppressive' and violated established protocols for dealing with former presidents. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the classified documents case, which was recently dismissed by a judge, further fueling his claims against the government. The notice of claim was filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, allowing Trump to seek restitution for actions taken by government officials. The government has 180 days to respond to the notice before the case can be escalated to federal court.
