A post shared on Facebook claims the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is stalking former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence following a raid in August. Verdict: False The claim originated from a satirical website. The FBI is not stalking the former president’s home. Fact Check: The FBI released a photo Tuesday showing documents spread out on the floor of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago office, according to the New York Post . The documents, which were marked secret and top secret, were reportedly seized by FBI agents during the Aug. 6 raid, the outlet reported. Now, a Facebook post claims the FBI is stalking the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home. The post claims federal agents have been keeping surveillance of the property via dark-colored vehicles with tinted windows. The agents are allegedly photographing the property and any individuals who gather outside Mar-a-Lago to show support for the former president. This is a vindictive crusade against Trump and his supporters, the post reads in part, citing an anonymous source. They won’t get in Mar-a-Lago again, with or without an illegal search warrant. (RELATED: Did The FBI Seize Donald Trump’s Home?) The claim is baseless. No such allegations appears on Trump’s TRUTH Social account or Team Trump’s verified social media accounts . Likewise, neither the FBI’s website or its verified social media accounts suggest any agents are still present there. There are no credible news reports to support the alleged claim. A keyword search reveals the claim stems from a September 1 article published on the website, Real Raw News. The site’s About Us page includes a disclaimer indicating the contents of the articles contain humor, parody, and satire. Check Your Fact has reached out to both a Trump spokesperson and the FBI for comment and will update this piece accordingly if one is received.
