Former President Donald Trump compared the search of his Mar-a-Lago home to the Watergate break-in. But the search was legal and approved by a judge, while the Watergate break-in was an illegal burglary.
Police stand outside an entrance to former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., on Aug. 8, 2022.
Even the following day, details were scarce about the underlying justification for the search of Trump’s home, which he said included the breaching of a safe. Certainly, it represented an escalation of the Justice Department’s investigation into Trump’s actions, as well as a virtually unprecedented step taken against a former president — one who may run again in 2024.
"Watergate was a burglary," he said. "It was illegal, done in secret, with no authorization. Comparing the two is like saying there is no distinction between someone who goes to a bank, writes a check, and properly withdraws their money and someone who puts on a mask and robs the bank at gunpoint."Neither Trump’s postpresidential office nor his political action committee responded to an inquiry for this article.
