<p>About half of registered voters support the Department of Justice unleashing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> agents to storm former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida on Monday morning.</p>
<p>An exclusive snap <a href="https://assets.morningconsult.com/wp-uploads/2022/08/11120813/2208053_crosstabs_POLITICO_TRUMP_RAID_RVs_v1_CC.pdf">poll</a> from Politico and global market research firm Morning Consult garnered early reaction Wednesday from a sample of 2,004 registered voters that asked a series of questions surrounding federal law enforcement acting on a search warrant to reportedly retrieve documents related to the National Archives.</p>
<p>When asked whether or not voters approved of &#8220;the FBI&#8217;s decision to conduct a search warrant on former President Donald Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida,&#8221; 49% strongly or somewhat said yes.</p>
<p>The breakdown divided voters into several demographics — but overall, the poll revealed that 84% of Democrats, 47% of Independents, and 15% of Republicans support the FBI scouring Trump&#8217;s residence.</p>
<p>Lawyers for the Department of Justice present during the raid reportedly informed Trump&#8217;s representatives that the search warrant gave them &#8220;full access to everything&#8221; on site. However, reports have claimed authorities blocked the former president&#8217;s lawyers from observation during the raid.</p>
<p>Federal agents executed the search warrant because they reportedly believed that Trump held back turning over all the classified information, which included documents marked as &#8220;top secret,&#8221; that were supposed to be sent back earlier this year.</p>
<p>Federal agents removed more than ten boxes of material, which are being sorted at a local FBI field office, from the property during the raid.</p>
<p>Pollsters sampled that three in four voters had seen, read, or heard about the FBI&#8217;s unannounced visit Monday morning, with 54% of the sampled believing Trump mishandled classified information. Others assume the raid either was about January 6 or &#8220;something else.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nearly 70% of Republicans sampled agree with President Trump, who called the raid political persecution and a &#8220;Witch Hunt&#8221; on Truth Social.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,&#8221; Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/108798155317268165">statement</a>. &#8220;After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They even broke into my safe!&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It is political targeting at the highest level!&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, 49% of voters, driven by Democrats and Independents, leaned more toward believing that authorities were looking for evidence of a crime that Trump allegedly committed.</p>
<p>And while 63% of Republicans believe the raid was an abuse of power that should be investigated, 62% of Democrats said otherwise.</p>
<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday afternoon that he &#8220;personally&#8221; approved the FBI search warrant on the home of former President Donald Trump this week, and that the Department has moved to unseal the search warrant.</p>
<p>Garland said the federal court authorized the warrant, which requires finding probable cause to execute.</p>
<p>&#8220;Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy,&#8221; Garland <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-merrick-garland-delivers-remarks">said</a>. &#8220;Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Prosecutors told ABC News that Trump should have an opportunity to respond and lodge objections to the motion, which includes &#8220;regards to any &#8216;legitimate privacy interests&#8217; or the potential for other &#8216;injury&#8217; if these materials are made public.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump, who has yet to announce a 2024 presidential run, said Thursday that his team has fully cooperated with the Justice Department&#8217;s investigation into the alleged mishandling of classified information.</p>
<p>&#8220;The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/108805982000044809">said</a>.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s 2024 standing among his voter base after the FBI raid jumped to the highest record since his 2020 loss, according to the survey.</p>
<p>58% of Republicans surveyed support Trump in the 2024 presidential election, showing a 5% increase from two months ago.</p>
