In a recent development, Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, has publicly criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for their investigation into his father's Mar-a-Lago home. The investigation, which took place in August 2022, has been a subject of controversy, with Eric Trump accusing the DOJ of overstepping boundaries.

Eric Trump expressed his discontent during an interview with Newsmax guest host Representative Matt Gaetz on Rob Schmitt Tonight. He accused the DOJ of doing anything within their power to undermine his father. "They are doing anything they can to take down my father," he stated.

The Trump scion also pointed out a potential conflict of interest, noting that Special Counsel Jack Smith's wife, Katy Chevigny, is a documentary filmmaker who produced a film about Michelle Obama. "I mean, isn’t it really convenient that she’s team Michelle Obama and happens to be the person that’s going after Donald Trump," he questioned.

Eric Trump further argued that his father is currently leading President Biden by five points in a Harvard Harris poll. He suggested that the investigation might be politically motivated, given his father's popularity. "DeSantis is fading quickly. He’s beating Biden in every single poll on a national level," he added.

The investigation at Mar-a-Lago has been a point of contention, with Eric Trump describing it as a misuse of statutes. He claimed that the investigators went as far as to search his younger brother Barron's room, a move he described as disgraceful. "They are rabidly going after my father, as you said, misusing statutes, and raiding his home at Mar-a-Lago, and you know, going through Barron’s underwear drawer and, you know, everything else you could possibly imagine," he said.

The former president also spoke out about the raid last year, expressing his dismay at the investigators' actions. He claimed that they rifled through the first lady's closet drawers and even conducted a thorough search of Barron's room, leaving everything in a different condition than when they started.

Eric Trump concluded his interview by expressing his concern for the country, stating that he is fearful due to the loss of confidence in the FBI. "It’s disgraceful and honestly I am fearful for this country, Matt, because it’s— our country can’t last this way. They’ve lost so much confidence of the American people. The FBI’s not respected the way it was before and it’s so sad to say that because it used to be a great institution," he said.

This controversy continues to unfold, with the Trump family and their supporters questioning the motives and methods of the DOJ's investigation. As the country watches, the question remains: How will this impact the political landscape and the public's trust in the institutions involved?
