MAGA militants immediately lashed out following news of the FBI's search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday night.
In their desperate attempt to deflect and defame, they've threatened civil war and political retribution, and are pushing even more baseless conspiracy theories. Trump, for his part, has once again chosen to incite his supporters.
Trump clearly still poses a serious threat to our democracy, and if he is not held accountable, he’ll continue to ignore the rule of law. It's time to hold him responsible for his actions.

Read more about the FBI's search warrant below.
Jack, on August 8, the FBI executed a search warrant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, as part of an investigation into the handling of classified and top secret documents he may have illegally taken from the White House.
The removal of the documents would violate the Presidential Records Act, a law initially put into place because Richard Nixon tried to cover up his crimes during Watergate.

This isn't the first time Trump has broken the law. While in office, he reportedly ripped up documents, flushing them down the toilet and instructing White House staffers to place them in "burn bags" earmarked for destruction.
As we learned during the January 6 committee hearings, Trump's clear defiance of the law is something Trump's own staff warned him against. Still, he has evaded accountability for his repeated illegal actions and his attacks on our democracy. Until now.
Democracy demands accountability. The Justice Department can and must act swiftly to hold Trump accountable for theft, destruction, and concealment of public records as well as his other attacks on our democracy and elections. If they don't, it will tell future presidents that they can get away with these crimes, too.
