Trump did confirm the search in a lengthy statement in which he claimed agents opened up a safe and likened the surprise search to "prosecutorial misconduct."

The search is part of a months-long probe into how classified documents were sent to his Florida residence when he left office early last year.

The probe compounds the misery encircling his potential 2024 run for president.
