On Monday, the FBI raided the office, and the hotel room of Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen. The goal of the raid was to seize business records, emails, and documents related to payments to Stormy Daniels among a number of other topics.
In response, President Donald Trump called the raid “disgraceful” and stated that it was “an attack on our country in a true sense,” and “an attack on what we all stand for.”

While the raid was purported to be about Stormy Daniels, many are speculating that it is another attempt to Special Counsel Robert Mueller to go after Trump in lieu of having an real evidence of his collusion with Russia.
The cheap theatrical stunt of raiding Michael Cohen's office is more proof that a year later Mueller has found zero evidence of Russia collusion and is now looking into Stormy Daniels. Next he'll be looking into Gary Busey's firing on the Apprentice.

In Trump’s statement, he blasted the “Witch Hunt” he’s been facing since he got elected, and how it is making facing the difficult challenged as President more challenging.
