Leo Terrell: FBI raid is an attempt to prevent Trump from running in 2024
Fox News contributor on the political motive of the FBI raid of President Trump's Mar-A-Lago
Hillary Clinton’s campaign appears to be fundraising off the FBI raid at former President Donald Trump residence at Mar-a-Lago.
"Every ‘But her emails’ hat or shirt sold helps @onwardtogether partners defend democracy, build a progressive bench, and fight for our values," Clinton tweeted on Tuesday. "Just saying!"
Clinton used a personal email server to house classified information during her time as Secretary of State, which became a major issue of contention during her 2016 president run against Trump. The FBI completed its investigation in July 2016 under then Director James Comey, who called Clinton’s handling of extremely sensitive information "extremely careless," but did not recommend criminal charges.
In February, Clinton announced that she was selling "but her emails" hats offered "just in time for Galentine’s Day, and the news that Trump was flushing documents down White House toilets."

FBI agents executed a search warrant of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property on Monday reportedly seeking classified documents he allegedly took from the White House when he left office in 2021. The search warrant was conducted in connection with the National Archives, according to a senior government official.
