Trump wants Justice Department to pay him $100 million for alleged damages from FBI's Mar-a-Lago search

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : The search in 2022 came after months of attempts by the Justice Department to have Trump and his lawyers voluntarily turn over hundreds of classified records he kept after leaving the White House.
32% : Trump says in the claim he's been harmed by the criminal charges brought several months after the search because he had to spend "tens of millions of dollars defending the case and his reputation."
28% : Before the search, federal investigators developed evidence and testimony that led them to believe Trump was intentionally hiding boxes of documents from them and his own lawyers.
28% : The search ultimately led to nearly three dozen criminal charges against Trump for obstruction of justice and mishandling of national security secrets.
28% : Before issuing her ruling, Cannon had not yet weighed in on many of the underlying legal challenges to the charges against Trump and his two co-defendants.
23% : The claim made to the Justice Department last week argues that Trump is the victim of "intrusion upon seclusion, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process" when the FBI searched his beach resort and collected unsecured national security records there.
23% : District Judge Aileen Cannon in the Southern District of Florida dismissed the criminal case against Trump last month after finding the office of special counsel wasn't appropriately funded or appointed.
16% : The claim alleges that Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, who signed off on the search, made the decision inappropriately, with negligence and that Trump and his attorneys said they were surprised by the FBI's arrival at the property.
