Bernard Kerik Says Democrats May Try to Orchestrate Trumpâs âAssassinationâ After FBI Raid
Former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik said Monday he is worried Democrats might try to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
Trumpâs home was raided by the FBI beginning Monday morning in connection with documents that were not turned over to the National Archives by the former president upon leaving office. According to the New York Times, 15 boxes containing classified documents were taken by FBI agents who raided Trumpâs office and broke into his safe.
Trumpâs daughter-in-law Lara Trump told Fox News the former president was aware of the raid and why. She added that he took memorabilia from his time in office which he rightly owned. She said he had been negotiating the return of some of the material.
The Department of Justice has not commented publicly on the raid, but Kerik claimed on Newsmax TV he is afraid for Trumpâs life.
Kerik joined The Balance with host Eric Bolling, where he said he feels Trump is in grave danger â not only from politically-motivated prosecution â but from the threat of death. He said:
If you remember back in 2016, right before he got elected, I was in Washington D.C. I was at a couple of different social events, and I hear people talking, they said the Democrats want this guy so bad that they wouldnât put assassination behind it. And Iâm gonna tell you something. theyâve tried impeachment, theyâve tried another impeachment, theyâve tried one investigation after another.
This is about one thing: this is about stopping him from running in 2024. And Iâm gonna tell you something, Iâm not into conspiracies, Iâm not into anti-government rhetoric. This is the first time in my lifetime that I would say I am deathly afraid for Donald Trump. I would not put assassination behind these people.
Trump called the raid a âweaponization of the Justice Systemâ in a statement on the search of his home.
âThese are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,â Trump said. âNothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.â
