Raid at Mar-a-Lago spurs suspicions about a mole in Trumpworld

The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home in Florida is fueling speculation about a mole within the former president’s inner circle.

Agents searched the Mar-a-Lago estate after a tipster told investigators that additional classified documents might be in storage, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Mr. Trump’s attorneys had met with investigators at the estate in June to discuss materials that had been taken from the White House. They recovered some boxes.

However, “someone familiar with the stored papers told investigators there may be still more classified documents at the private club,” according to the newspaper.

A separate report from Newsweek, citing government officials, said the FBI relied on a confidential informant who could identify what information was there and the precise location.
