Watch videos of the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida

As a rendition of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” soundtracked the night sky outside Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach County, a video shows a group of people who turned out to support the former president after the FBI raided his home Monday night.

The former president had posted his outrage on his social media platform.

“These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful home in Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”

The teams of FBI agents were there looking for classified documents that Trump had allegedly taken with him when he left the White House, a source familiar with the Palm Beach raid told the Miami Herald.
