Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is dismissing Republican threats of an investigation into the Department of Justice (DOJ) as an “idle” warning the day after the agency’s search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
Asked during an interview with NBC’s “Today” Tuesday morning about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) threat the night before, Pelosi predicted that Democrats would retain control of the House in the November midterm elections.
“First of all, I think the Democrats are going to win the House. We’ve been prepared for it for a long time. And now, with what’s happening with Roe v. Wade and the legislation that we are passing, I think that whatever the leader is saying is probably idle,” Pelosi said.
Trump confirmed in a statement Monday night that his Mar-a-Lago residence had been “raided” by “a large group of FBI agents.” Multiple outlets later reported that authorities executed a search warrant on the location as part of the probe into materials Trump took with him to his Florida residence when he departed the White House.
