Stefanik targets FBI

John, Last night, the FBI executed a lawfully obtained search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, reportedly as part of an investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents. And, of course, Elise Stefanik came running to Trump’s defense: "The FBI's raid on Presiden…
