On Aug. 8, 2022, Mar-A-Lago — Donald Trump's home in Florida — was raided by FBI agents. The search, according to Fox News and CNN, was part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents, including classified documents, that the former POTUS brought there. Earlier this year, the National Archives and Records Administration said Trump took 15 boxes of presidential records to his personal residence in Florida. Trump, as expected, was livid about the raid, even lamenting that the agents "broke into" his safe. Trump was not home at the time of the raid.
In the entertainment world, some celebrities reacted with excitement, others with anger. Keep reading to see what top names are saying about the historic raid…
