The FBI searched the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Trump this week — a dramatic step that has increased speculation about the former president being in legal jeopardy. The search, which reportedly focused on the retention of classified material, comes as Trump is under scrutiny in a flurry of investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, his pressure campaign against election officials in Georgia and his business dealings in New York. It also comes against the backdrop of Trump considering a White House bid in 2024. Here's what we know about the search. Meanwhile, skeptical Republicans are pressuring the Department of Justice to explain its rationale for executing the search warrant.
