Former first lady Melania Trump bashed the FBI for the 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago over Donald Trump’s storage of classified documents in a new video.

The video was a promotion for her new upcoming memoir with the title “Melania.” She opens her remarks with the words of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution present on the screen followed by music and images of Trump’s estate as she slams the FBI’s decision to raid her home.

Back in 2022, the agency seized over 100 classified documents and folders being stored at Trump’s estate that were taken during his 2021 departure from the White House. Following the raid, Trump was hit with 40 charges relating to mishandling of classified records and obstruction; however, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case back in July.

“I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America,” Melania said in the video posted to X on Sunday. “The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings.”

She added, “This is not just my story, it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.”

Judge Cannon dismissed the case against the former president by ruling special counsel Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed by the Department of Justice. Smith is currently appealing the decision.

Previously, Trump claimed that the former First Lady felt “very violated” by the FBI raid on their home.
