Trump Turns FBI Raid to Advantage
Why did the FBI raid Donald Trump’s home? And has this given him the upper hand in the 2024 elections?
Former President Donald Trump said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate and broke into his safe. And now he’s turned it to his advantage.
Why did the FBI raid Donald Trump’s home?
And has this given him the upper hand in the 2024 elections?
Former President Donald Trump said FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate – and broke into his safe.
According to Reuters, “FBI agents entered Trump’s home as part of an investigation into his removal of boxes of classified records from the White House when his term as president ended in 2021”.
Donald Trump is facing several probes, but the unprecedented search of a former president’s home, is a major escalation into the records investigation.
The U.S. Justice Department did not comment on the house raid.
But Trump said it involved a “large group of FBI agents”.
There is a federal law which permits US presidents from keeping memos, letter, notes, emails and faxes related to a presidents official duties.
But a raid at this scale, has to be approved by a judge and according to Reuters,
It was most likely approved by “FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, and his boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Trump’s successor and political rival, President Joe Biden”.
Trump’s allies in the house of representatives and senate rallied support in favor of the former President.
And said that this was an attempt- to sideline Trump as a possible 2024 presidential contender.
They have also vowed to probe the FBI’s raid if they get control of the U.S. House.
In terms of what’s come of all of it all, well, Donald Trump seized the FBI raid to boost his 2024 Presidential bid.
It’s still unclear if Trump would ever garner the momentum he had in 2016.
But it’s certain that he has strategically used this raid- to boost support for his candidacy.

UPS cargo plane crash in Kentucky kills four, injures 11, governor warns death toll may rise
– A UPS cargo plane crashed in Louisville, resulting in at least four deaths and 11 injuries.
– Investigations are underway, and all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled.
Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.
Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.
Emergency services have worked to contain a fire resulting from the incident, which required a significant number of responders. UPS has not confirmed details regarding its crew’s condition. Photographs showed the MD-11 engulfed in flames at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
UPS operates its primary air cargo facility in Louisville, processing millions of packages daily. The plane’s fuel load of 38,000 gallons contributed to explosions that occurred upon impact with the businesses, prompting significant road closures.
Investigation Underway
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct investigations into the crash.
In the aftermath, all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled, affecting major airlines including Delta Air Lines and American Airlines.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.
US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.
Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.
Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.
