Eric Trump has shared that his family is in possession of surveillance tapes from the FBI raid at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
While talking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, the former president’s son was asked if they have footage of the search.
“Will you—you still have the surveillance tape, is that correct? Will you—are you allowed to share that with the country?” Hannity asked.
“Absolutely, Sean. At the right time,” Eric Trump responded, noting that all law enforcement officers should wear body cameras for “transparency.”
He also claimed that the Mar-a-Lago raid had resulted in “the greatest fundraising.” “My father’s poll numbers have absolutely gone through the roof,” he said.
Eric Trump’s comments confirm what Christina Bobb, one of the former president’s attorneys, said last week about security cameras being on at the home during most of the FBI search.
According to Bobb, the FBI initially instructed Mar-a-Lago staff to turn off all the surveillance cameras, but Trump’s legal team ensured they would be on.
“It’s kind of funny. I think the folks in New York, President Trump and his family, probably had a better view than I did because they had the CCTV, they were able to watch,” she told Real America’s Voice.
Both Eric and Donald Trump have insinuated that the request to turn off cameras was made to cover up the FBI’s behavior.
“Everyone was asked to leave the premises, they wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not, ‘planting.’ Why did they STRONGLY insist on having nobody watching them, everybody out?” Trump said on his app Truth Social.
Eric Trump also called the FBI raid a “fishing” expedition during his talk with Hannity.
