Palmer Condemns FBI Raid of Former President Donald Trump's Florida Residence

Washington D.C. – Following last night's unprecedented raid of former President Donald Trump's residence in Florida by the FBI, Rep. Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement:

“This unprecedented search and seizure at the residence of a former President of the United States shows a clear double standard by those leading the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),” said Rep. Palmer. “These actions by the FBI further erode confidence in what used to be one of the most well-respected law enforcement agencies in the world and demonstrates the length the Biden Administration and the Democrats will go to destroy their political opponents.” 

Palmer continued, “There were no evening raids of residences or seizures of documents when Hillary Clinton and her lawyers held classified emails on a private server or after she had that server wiped while the DOJ sat by and waited for it to be turned over. Again, there was no raid, no prosecution, and no charges filed in that instance. This contrast shows that we live in a two-tiered justice system where evidence of wrongdoing doesn’t matter, only your political beliefs.”
