“Donald Trump’s team and allies are moving swiftly to draw political benefit from an unannounced search by FBI agents at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday,” Politico reports.
“And they’re keeping tabs of Republicans who aren’t, in their view, sufficiently rushing to his defense.”
Said a person close to Trump: “They’re going to drastically use this to rally their allies, GOP leaders on Capitol Hill and juice for his political agenda and run for 2024. If there was a 99 percent chance it’s 100 percent now. He makes it part of his platform – going after the FBI.”
David Frum: “The former president has discovered a new test of power: using his own misconduct to compel party leaders to rally to him.”
