IU experts available to comment on political implications of FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Former President Donald Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida, was searched Monday by the FBI as part of an investigation into whether sensitive documents were taken there instead of being sent to the National Archives when Trump left office. Trump and other prominent Republicans are claiming the search is a politically motivated attack on the former president. Indiana University political science experts are available to comment on the implications of the FBI’s search.
