Andrew Cuomo, a staunch anti-Trump politician who formerly served as Governor of New York, questioned the legitimacy of the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate. “DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives,” Cuomo wrote in a tweet. “Or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.”

Cuomo’s comments were met with fury from leftist activists and pundits on Twitter. Despite this, the former governor doubled down on his concern, speculating that the move could prove politically costly for Democrats. “DOJ must disclose the bona fide nature of the August 8 action or else the republicans will use it to Discredit the Jan 6 investigation, which would be a terrible disservice to the good work of the house committee in exposing The Trump administration violations,” Cuomo wrote.
